Focusing on the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries,
this volume highlights the scientific and philosophical inquiry
into heredity and reproduction and the consequences of these
developing ideas on understandings of race and gender. Neither the
life sciences nor philosophy had fixed disciplinary boundaries at
this point in history. Kant, Hegel, and Schelling weighed in on
these questions alongside scientists such as Caspar Friedrich
Wolff, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, and Karl Ernst von Baer. The
essays in this volume chart the development of modern gender
polarizations and a naturalized, scientific understanding of gender
and race that absorbed and legitimized cultural assumptions about
difference and hierarchy.
