The World (State) Republic as a Regulative Idea of Reason -- Juridical Constructivism and the Cosmopolitan Constitution N2 - "Why is there so much attention on Kant's global politics in present day law and philosophy? This book argues that to understand the complexities of our current legal-institutional arrangements, we first need an insight into Kant's global politics, and highlights the potential fruitfulness of Kant's cosmopolitan thought for contemporary political thinking. It adopts a double methodological strategy by reconstructing a genealogical conceptual journey showing the development of international law, as well as introducing an interpretation of cosmopolitanism centered on Kant's theory of a metaphysics of freedom. The result is a novel focus on Kant's notion of the world republic. Rather than considering such political entity as something empirically realizable, this book argues that the world republic stands as a way of thinking about international politics and that the possibility of progression towards peace would result from a regulative use of the idea of a world republic"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429020087 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
