The Political Hypnosis Of The Owl Of Minerva

Summary/Abstract: In Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason Kant elaborates on the “ethical commonwealth” - a concept that is essential for his view that a world state is inevitable in the future. It will be asserted that To­ward Perpetual Peace is not fully representative of Kant’s views on in­ternational relations, because it has been written in a period when Kant was banned by the Prussian state to freely express himself. Since a cosmopolitan position follows from the central assumptions of Kant’s practical philosophy, it ought to be part of those approaches to interna­tional relations that are developed along Kantian lines. Rawls and Hab­ermas fail to adopt a similar position, primarily because of, respectively, a refusal to adopt a global original position and a conception of human rights that is political (i.e., non-moral) in nature. The largely un-Kantian conclusions of Rawls and Habermas will be contrasted to cosmopolitan views on international relations.
