                        Immanuel Kant
         By: Yonna Yelverton

         Immanuel Kant was a man before his time. His philosophies, as outlined in
         Perpetual Peace, paved the way for modern political relations. Unbeknownst
         to his day and age, his insights were a revelation. They were seeds planted
         and left unsewn for 120 years. As a first and second image theorist, Kant
         mixes his liberal and realist views to paint a picture of "perpetual peace." His
         essay outlines the actions that nations should take to achieve this lofty
         objective. Through his layout of behavioral and philosophical ideologies, he
         believes nations can truly live synchronically. The first section of Kant's essay
         contains articles that specifically state the actions that nations should take to
         enable them to establish a world peace. These six articles must become the
         law of a nation endeavoring for peace. The first article applies to treaties of
         peace. In the first article he explains that states entering into peace treaties
         must resolve all problems that lead them to war. All parties must make
         known their issues and work to rectify them. Thus, in the future, there will be
         no circumstance that will lead them to war again amongst each other. The
         second of these laws communicates the need for all independent nations to be
         free from the seizure of another state. The next article is in complete
         opposition to the realist theory. Kant explains that all nations need to
         gradually dispense of their armed forces. He believes that armies held by
         nations increase the tension of their rivals. This makes them increase the size
         of their military. Here, Kant indirectly addresses the realist Prisoner's
         Dilemma. He believes that international conflicts arise from mistaken beliefs,
         as well as inadequate information and bad governments. As each side
         increases their military, the more likely a war will start. Thus, the paradox of
         the Prisoner's Dilemma. Kant argues that because humans have rationality,
         they can break out of the Prisoner's Dilemma. This is a fundamental
         difference between Kant and a traditional realist such as Morgantheau. The
         fourth law is about a nation's debt to the others. In this law, Kant argues that
         nations indebted to one another will cause war. He states in this article that if
         a nation face bankruptcy, then the nations that have loaned it funds will also
         be adversely affected. Also, sovereignty of a nation is another law that Kant
         argues to be important to world peace. Nations, he says, must not interfere
         with the constitution of another. He implicitly reaffirms the principals of the
         Treaty of Wesphaylia - sovereignty and noninterference. In the final article,
         Kant addresses war directly. He states that if nations are at war, then they
         should refrain from doing things during the course of war that would cause the
         other nations to distrust them in future times of peace. By this, he is referring
         to the use of assassins and treasonous deeds. This concludes the first section
         of his essay. The second section of "Perpetual Peace" is more in depth. Kant
         gives us three articles that define what type of government nations must apply
         to reach a perpetual peace. He begins this section by arguing that it is not in
         man's nature to be at peace. He declares that the natural state of man is war.
         He goes on to say: "...for the suspension of hostilities does not provide the
         security of peace..." (111) However, it can be reached in a state of
         lawfulness. Kant explains why republican constitutions are vital to ensure the
