Published in 1795, 'Perpetual Peace' is a foundational work in international relations theory, proposing a philosophical framework for achieving lasting peace among nations through a republican constitution, a federation of free states, and universal hospitality.
Kant outlines a set of preliminary and definitive articles for perpetual peace, arguing that a world order based on republican states, international law, and a commitment to universal rights can overcome the natural state of war between nations.
