Publisher's Synopsis
Eternal Peace: And Other International Essays is a collection of essays written by the renowned German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, and first published in 1914. The book is a reflection on the concept of eternal peace, exploring the conditions necessary for the establishment of a lasting peace among nations. Kant argues that the only way to achieve eternal peace is through the establishment of a world order based on the principles of justice, equality, and respect for human rights. He proposes the creation of a federation of free states, with each state having its own government and laws, but united under a common system of international law and a shared commitment to peace.The book also includes other essays by Kant on international relations, including ""Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch"" and ""The Metaphysics of Morals."" In these essays, Kant discusses the role of morality in international relations and argues that universal moral principles should guide the actions of nations.Overall, Eternal Peace: And Other International Essays is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the concept of peace and the conditions necessary for its achievement.
