On Kant’s Conception of Perpetual Peace—Rereading Kant’s “On Perpetual Peace”
Abstract
Kant expressed his deep concern for the cause of human peace in the “Permanent Peace Theory”. The clauses concerning
the realization of permanent peace are based on the perspective of a global citizen who transcends ordinary citizens. Established
in a calm and rational questioning. These terms are too abstract in the eyes of many liberal philosophers. Therefore, many liberal
philosophers no longer try to use a comprehensive theory of value as the basis for the concept of peace, but we still have reason
to hope that there is some kind of abstraction. Although this principle has many differences in specific concepts, after proper
reflection, most people will agree with these principles.Rules and the way of thinking behind the principles, and eventually it is
possible to establish some logically advanced principles.
