The Project of Perpetual Peace: de Saint-Pierre, Rousseau, Kant

Summary/Abstract: The article compares the views of de Saint-Pierre, Rousseau and Kant concerning the establishment of long-lasting peace presented in their works. De Saint-Pierre in his vision of united Europe, without wars, hopes, first of all, there will be an agreement among Christian rulers, establishment of Union, common Parliament and Arbitration Court. Rousseau does not share his optimism which does not take into consideration dominance of private interests over common good. He rather counts on alliance of nations with republican form of government. For Kant preserving long-lasting peace is subject to establishing the primacy of morality over politics in republican system and forming a union of nations with cultural differences which may be understood as a vision of federation of homelands.
