Towards Perpetual Peace appeared in 1795. The work, which was a great success, closed a movement to rationalize the law which determined universal norms for peace without regard for the cultural or religious identity of the parties involved. It thus continues the movement of legal theologians who had to reflect on the legal aspects of the conquest of America, where most historians of international law trace the systematic development of the law of war and peace. However, as a philosophical project, the work does not stick to this perspective, and the present commentary seeks to show how Kant creates a synthesis between two traditions of thought, the legal tradition which insists on the artificial and institutional dimension of peace, and the Christian tradition, centered on the idea of ​​Providence, which on the contrary relates peace to an order superior to the will of men. The product of this synthesis is to make thinkable an articulation of morality and history that can motivate men to commit to peace, understood as a matter for everyone, citizens or leaders, as long as they are gifted with reason. By the very fact of having written this work, Kant thus worked to give confidence in the practical power of thought to form a type of consciousness capable of firmly maintaining its peaceful motivation against all forms of cynicism and discouragement.
