Abstract

In his essay perpetual peace: A Philosophical Sketch, Immanuel kant prescribes the means of attaining a worldwide peace among nations. In theory, kant's idea of achieving perpetual peace relies not on reactionary peaceful measures of ending wars once they have begun, but instead on creating a preventative system; that is, kant believes that the effectiveness of reactionary peace policy is far inferior to the construction of a preventative contract between nations that would call for a continued peace and the perpetual existence of peaceful negotiations in order to avoid war. kant writes that "peace can neither be inaugurated nor secured without a general agreement between the nations; thus a particular kind of league, which we might call a pacific federation is required. [This] would differ from a peace treaty in that the latter terminates one war, whereas the former would seek to end all wars for good" (104).
