Razão teórica, cosmopolitismo e paz perpétua

Resumen

This article takes a fresh look at relevant extracts from Kant’s first critique. The study emphasizes certain relations which link the Critique of Pure Reason with the German Philosopher’s later texts on politics, law and peace among peoples, nations and States. The aim of the analysis is to try to fight the repeated thesis that Kantian philosophy is a solipsist undertaking in origin, development and completion. The concluding section of the study is an attempt to give a satisfactory direction to the philosopher’s different alternatives in regard to lasting peace.
