Abstract

Ludwig Ferdinand Clauss (1892–1974) was a student of Husserl and during the 1920s he wrote three books which sought to show that Husserlian phenomenology had made possible for the first time a rigorous concept of race. He subsequently became one of the foremost racial theorists in Nazi Germany. This essay explores what is problematic in Clauss’s approach, but the main emphasis is on what we learn from Clauss about the project of a phenomenology of the racialization process itself: what do we see when we see race?.
