Toward Perpetual Peace and Other Writings on Politics, Peace, and History

Immanuel Kants views on politics, peace, and history have lost none of their relevance since their publication more than two centuries ago. This volume contains a comprehensive collection of Kants writings on international relations theory and political philosophy, superbly translated and accompanied by stimulating essays. Pauline Kleingeld provides a lucid introduction to the main themes of the volume, and three essays by distinguished contributors follow: Jeremy Waldron on Kants theory of the state; Michael W. Doyle on the implications of Kants political theory for his theory of international relations; and Allen W. Wood on Kants philosophical approach to history and its current relevance.
