Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze // ^ⓘ (18 January 1963 – 31 December 2007) was a Nigerian philosopher. Eze was a specialist in postcolonial philosophy. He wrote as well as edited influential postcolonial histories of philosophy in Africa, Europe, and the Americas. He brought Immanuel Kant's racism to light among Western thinkers in the 1990s, an area of Kant's life that Western philosophers often gloss over.^[1] Influences in his own work include Paulin Hountondji, Richard Rorty, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant.

At the time of his death, Eze was Associate Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University, where he also founded and edited the journal Philosophia Africana [1]. He died on December 31, 2007, in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania^[2] after a short illness.
