Colonial and Anti-Colonial Thinking. From the Enlightenment to the 20th Century

The fifth issue of the “Historical Judgment” series explores colonial and anti-colonial thinking in German history. What positions did Kant, Herder, and Hegel take on colonialism? What criticism was levelled at the German colonies in the colonial period? What critical engagement was there with colonialism under National Socialism? And what were the differences between anti-colonialism in East and West Germany before 1989?

At the symposium, historians, philosophers, political scientists, and sociologists will discuss these and other questions from an interdisciplinary perspective.
