Zum ewigen Frieden: Ein philosophischer Entwurf

by Immanuel Kant

"Zum ewigen Frieden: Ein philosophischer Entwurf" by Immanuel Kant is a philosophical work published in 1795. Structured as a peace treaty, it applies Kant's moral philosophy to politics, exploring whether lasting peace between states is possible. The text presents preliminary articles outlining necessary conditions and definitive articles establishing a legal framework. Kant argues peace is not natural but must be actively established through reason-guided principles, with human rights taking precedence over state interests in a cosmopolitan legal system.
