Perpetual Peace by Immanuel Kant
A Philosophical Sketch
The book outlines a philosophical framework for achieving lasting global peace through the establishment of a federation of free states governed by the rule of law and mutual respect. It argues that true peace is attainable only when nations adopt republican constitutions, respect human rights, and engage in transparent, cooperative international relations. The author emphasizes the importance of moral principles in politics and proposes practical steps, such as disarmament and the abolition of standing armies, to prevent war and promote harmony among nations.
