Zum Ewigen Frieden. Ein Philosophischer Entwurf

Zum ewigen Frieden. Ein philosophischer Entwurf

by Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant's "Zum ewigen Frieden" (Perpetual Peace) delves into the complex relationship between morality and international affairs. Kant argues that true peace cannot be achieved through mere chance or circumstance; instead, it requires conscious effort and adherence to a system of international law based on ethical principles. He advocates for a federation of republics, where each nation respects the sovereignty of others and submits to a universal law of reason. The essay explores the concept of perpetual peace, highlighting the need for institutions and mechanisms to ensure its realization. It critiques the nature of war, proposing a system of international arbitration and diplomacy to settle disputes. This seminal work offers a framework for understanding the ethical and political foundations of a peaceful world order.
