When Hegel described the Americas as an inferior continent, he was
repeating a contention that inspired one of the most passionate
debates of modern times. Originally formulated by the eminent
natural scientist Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon and
expanded by the Prussian encyclopedist Cornelius de Pauw, this
provocative thesis drew heated responses from politicians,
philosophers, publicists, and patriots on both sides of the
Atlantic. The ensuing polemic reached its apex in the latter
decades of the eighteenth century and is far from extinct today.
