Perpetual peace
A Philosophical Sketch
Book • 1795
In 'Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch,' Immanuel Kant presents a comprehensive plan for achieving lasting international peace.
The essay is divided into preliminary articles and definitive articles.
The preliminary articles include steps such as the abolition of standing armies, the prohibition of secret treaties, and the non-interference in the internal affairs of other states.
The definitive articles propose that each state should have a republican constitution, that the law of nations should be based on a federation of free states, and that the rights of men as citizens of the world should be limited to the conditions of universal hospitality.
Kant argues that true peace can only be realized through a collective legal framework among states and the establishment of republican governments, emphasizing the importance of moral principles and public discourse in achieving perpetual peace.
