A book titled in reference to this philosopher analyzes the global spread of the idea of “race” in theorizing a “Becoming Black of the world.” This philosopher inspired a “Black radical” school developed by Charles W. Mills. Emmanuel Eze ignited study of this philosopher’s racism in the 1990s. This philosopher posited four races that come from a “lineal root genus” in “On the Different Races of Man” and debated the definition of race with Georg Forster. Both a 1999 book by (*) Gayatri Spivak rebuking postcolonialism and a 2013 book by Achille Mbembe are titled in reference to this philosopher’s magnum opus. This philosopher is often seen as adopting racial egalitarianism in works like Toward Perpetual Peace and one that outlines the Doctrine of Right and the Doctrine of Virtue, which builds on an earlier “Groundwork.” For 10 points, name this author of The Metaphysics of Morals. ■END■
