About This Book

The essay sets out practical and normative conditions for securing lasting peace between states, first listing prohibitions—no secret reservations to peace treaties, no annexation of states by inheritance or purchase, abolition of standing armies, prohibition of public debt for external affairs—and then proposing definitive principles: republican civil constitutions, a federation of free states under international law, and a cosmopolitan right limited to universal hospitality. It combines juridical argumentation with moral and political reflection, assesses institutional reforms, and adds appendices that examine tensions between morality and statecraft and the alignment of politics with principles of public right.

About the Author

Kant, Immanuel portrait

Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was a German philosopher who is a central figure in modern philosophy. His work laid the foundations for much of contemporary thought in metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology. Kant is best known for his critical philosophy, particularly in "The Critique of Pure Reason," where he explores the relationship between human experience and knowledge. His moral philosophy, articulated in works like "Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals," emphasizes the importance of duty and the categorical imperative. Kant's ideas have significantly influenced various fields, including philosophy, political theory, and aesthetics, making him a pivotal figure in the history of Western thought.
