Summary/Abstract: Dealing with war and peace is important momentum in Kant’s work. In fact, the essential features of his philosophy are revealed here. The efforts regarding the shaping of political philosophy, but also the philosophy of history, are characteristically intertwined here: they build on the conceptualization of a pacified international order in the sign of expanded republicanism. We will especially emphasize the relevance of the revolution in Kant’s philosophy, the significance of the transformation of the principles of the French Revolution in order to republicanize the civic community, and after that we will talk about the project of eternal peace within the framework of historical-philosophical considerations. To that extent, our intention is to indirectly follow the appropriate motives and thus highlight those aspects of the mentioned philosophical orientations without which Kant’s projection of eternal peace, as well as cosmopolitanism, cannot be understood.
