| Summary |
"Zum ewigen Frieden: Ein philosophischer Entwurf" by Immanuel Kant is a philosophical treatise written in the late 18th century. The text discusses the principles necessary for achieving perpetual peace among nations and critiques the political and social structures that prevent such peace from being realized. The focus is on establishing a framework for international relations based on mutual respect and rights, rather than domination and conflict. At the start of the work, Kant introduces his framework for establishing a lasting peace, differentiating between simply ending a conflict and achieving true peace. He presents preliminary articles that countries must adopt, emphasizing the necessity of renouncing secret plans for war, prohibiting the acquisition of states through force, disbanding standing armies, and more. His approach critiques existing political practices and outlines a vision for a more cooperative international community, guided by rational principles that respect the sovereignty and rights of each state.
