Description

An Inquiry into the Nature of Peace and the Terms of Its Perpetuation is a political science classic book that examines the peace that was established following the conclusion of the first world war.

This great book contains this passage: "It is now some 122 years since Kant wrote the essay, Zum ewigen Frieden.

Many things have happened since then, although the Peace to which he looked forward with a doubtful hope has not been among them.

But many things have happened which the great critical philosopher, and no less critical spectator of human events, would have seen with interest.

To Kant the quest of an enduring peace presented itself as an intrinsic human duty, rather than as a promising enterprise.

Yet through all his analysis of its premises and of the terms on which it may be realised there runs a tenacious persuasion that, in the end, the régime of peace at large will be installed.

Not as a deliberate achievement of human wisdom, so much as a work of Nature the Designer of things--Natura daedala rerum."
