Ikuiseen rauhaan: Valtio-oikeudellinen tutkielma

by Immanuel Kant

"Ikuiseen rauhaan: Valtio-oikeudellinen tutkielma" by Immanuel Kant is a philosophical essay published in 1795. Kant presents a systematic peace program for governments, outlining preliminary steps nations should take immediately and three definitive articles to establish lasting peace. His vision includes republican governments, a federation of free states, and universal hospitality. Rather than a world government, he advocates for a league of independent republics. This influential work shaped modern theories connecting democracy, commerce, and international institutions to peace.
