À propos de ce contenu audio

 This thought-provoking essay, penned in 1795, presents a compelling vision for enduring peace among nations and peoples. Kant outlines essential pathways to achieve this peace, arguing that countries can unite in a federation while retaining their sovereignty. One significant translation of his ideas refers to this alliance as a “league of nations.” The essays supplements and appendices offer intriguing insights, including Kants exploration of the role of war in nature and how it ultimately drives humanity toward peace. He also grapples with whether his theories can be practically implemented, distinguishing between the moral politician and the political moralist. Kant highlights the dangers of practical considerations that often mask behaviors leading to conflict and war. His reflections remain strikingly relevant today, serving as a reminder of our ongoing quest for the perpetual peace Kant deemed an essential goal. As he ominously cautioned, we may only encounter this peace in the grave, where the horrors of violence and their perpetrators lie buried. (Summary by D.E. Wittkower)Copyright Politics, Philosophy, Religion Philosophie Politique et gouvernement Sciences politiques Sciences sociales
