Kant: Towards Perpetual Peace (Week 1)

As a capstone for the year, we turn to Kant's essay on cosmopolitan law. Next year we can anticipate reading this between the Doctrine of Right and the Doctrine of Virtue, so consider this something of a preview for a new maintstay in the reading schedule.

Note that this meeting is on a Tuesday!

We'll be covering sections I and II (317 - 331, 14 pages) at this meetup.

Note: Meetings focus on developing a common language and fostering friendship through the study of Kant. The host will provide an interpretation of Kant; other interpretations will not be discussed until later in the meeting. Additional interpretations, topics, and questions can be addressed through the Jitsi chat feature.

No prior knowledge of Kant is necessary!
