This book focuses on Kant's analysis of three issues crucial for
contemporary politics. Starting from a new reading of Kant's
account of our innate right to freedom, it highlights how a Kantian
foundation of human rights, properly understood and modified where
necessary, appears more promising than the foundational arguments
currently offered by philosophers. It then compares Kant's model
for peace with the apparently similar model of democratic peace to
show that the two are profoundly different in content and in
quality. The book concludes in analysis of Kant's controversial
view of history to rescue it from the idea that his belief in
progress is at best over-optimistic and at worst dogmatic.
Congratulations to Professor Luigi Caranti and his book 'Kant's
Political Legacy' which has been given a 'honorable mention' by the
North American Kant Society in the competition for the best 2018
book on Kant!!
