Mills: Mills maintains that Kant radicalized the conception of personhood and created the category of sub-personhood. White males were to be considered full persons in Kant’s conceptual schema or structure. Non-whites were to be considered sub-persons. What are the intellectual, moral, political, legal-juridical, economic and social consequences of dividing humanity by race into the categories of full personhood and sub-personhood, according to Mills? Be specific.

Mills: Mills examines many of the ways scholars avoid or deny Kant’s categorization of non-whites as sub persons. Articulate at least three of these strategies of denial and explain why Mills considers them to be not only unpersuasive but also damaging in some way.
