Description
Kant’s Principles of Politics is a seminal work that compiles Immanuel Kant’s most important contributions to political philosophy and theory. Translated by W. Hastie, this volume presents Kant’s systematic approach to governance, justice, and the organization of states.
The centerpiece of this collection is Kant’s renowned essay on Perpetual Peace, which outlines his vision for achieving lasting international peace through republican constitutions, international law, and cosmopolitan rights. Kant argues that perpetual peace is not merely an ideal but an achievable goal through the establishment of democratic institutions and international cooperation.
Beyond the famous essay, this work explores Kant’s fundamental principles regarding the rights of individuals, the legitimate exercise of state power, and the moral foundations of political authority. Essential reading for scholars of political philosophy, international relations, and Enlightenment thought, this collection demonstrates how Kant’s ideas continue to influence contemporary discussions on democracy, human rights, and global governance.
