In autumn 1795, Kant published his essay Treatise on Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Outline. In it he shows how reason is related to the historical nature of man. Can human knowledge become practical or does it only occur in the pure region of divinity, mathematics, & nature? Can human reason be operative in the sphere of public activity? In other words, the way reason relates to politics is analyzed. Kant's thesis is that peace is the foundation & the norm of the political, an opinion that makes him part of the long tradition of European humanistic thought. We examine The First & The Second Definitive Article on perpetual peace as well as The Second Appendix (The Secret Article of Perpetual Peace) & consider them as a sign of great respect & admiration for the Konigsberg philosopher. Kant's integral text will be published as a part of the Minerva series by the publishing firm Politicka kultura. Adapted from the source document.
