- Title
IN WHAT SENSE EXACTLY DID CHRISTIANITY GIVE US RACIAL SCIENCE?
- Authors
Fehige, Yiftach
- Abstract
In my contribution to the interdisciplinary discussion of Terence Keel's study on the Christian roots of modern racial science, I focus on its philosophical assumptions and implications. My primary concern is to relate the findings of this study to recent appraisals of the philosophical notion of a secularized Western modernity. I raise a twofold question: in what sense can one say that traditional Christianity links intimately to modern racial science, and which historiographical decisions inform the substantiation of such links?
