Example text

19 Just as one might expect that a republic may be successfully constructed to serve the interests of the citizens and the citizens themselves aim to avoid the destructive depletion of resources and the social fabric caused by war, he foretells that an international contract of some sort between states is attainable. Kant’s emphasis here, though, is that republics around the world can and ought to construct this federation as free states. 20 Equality is of primary import, so as to divert the possibility of distrust, envy, or conceit from inaugurating imbalances of any kind.

40 However, Kant believes that the political moralist ultimately defeats the possibility of his own political aspirations. 41 Hence, the political moralist is never in a position to truly offer a rightful direction in politics. He can never make a successful claim to right without having perpetrated illegitimate acts. 42 What this means is that he imagines political actors who, through reason or experience, are able to establish political duty as prescribed by the natural conditions faced by all human beings.

2. The right of nations shall be based on a federation of free states. 3. 16 Here he describes how such a pacific condition in international politics could be attained. Additionally, Kant may be seen to display a strong faith in the rational will of human individuals and organizations as the mechanism through which such conditions may be organised. He anticipates the transformation of modern states into true republics. 17 Furthermore, he understands a republic to gain its legitimacy from and standing on a constitution brought about by the rightful consent of the citizenry as a whole in its origin.
