Project For A Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Essay (1796)

By Immanuel Kant

Book Overview

""Project for a Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Essay"" is a work by the renowned German philosopher Immanuel Kant, first published in 1796. The book presents Kant's vision of a world without war, based on a set of principles that would guide international relations towards peace and cooperation. Kant argues that perpetual peace can only be achieved through a federation of free states, in which each nation respects the sovereignty and rights of others, and disputes are resolved through diplomacy and legal means rather than force. He also discusses the role of international law, the importance of trade and commerce, and the need for a system of global governance to oversee and enforce these principles. The book is a seminal work in the field of political philosophy and has had a profound influence on the development of international relations theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
