Kant’s position on the colonial question has mostly been discussed by referring to his conceptions of relationships between collective groupings (states, nations, ‘races’, peoples). The text argues that his strong anti-colonial stance rather stems from his normative framework – developed in the second half of the 1790s – of a limited scope of the right to hospitality that an individual is intitled to enjoy upon arrival on a foreign territory. O Kantovem stališču do kolonialnega vprašanja so večinoma razpravljali s sklicevanjem na njegove koncepcije odnosov med kolektivnimi združenji (državami, narodi, »rasami«, ljudstvi). Prispevek argumentira, da njegova močna protikolonialna drža prej izhaja iz njegovega normativnega okvira – razvitega v drugi polovici 1790-ih – omejenega obsega pravice do gostoljubja, ki jo ima posameznik ob prihodu na tuje ozemlje.
