About this book
Reviews
"The War Over Perpetual Peace is certain to be regarded as unique and provocative. I would expect this work to bring about renewed interest and argument concerning the relationship between Kant's great prophetic history , it's interpretations and the actual course of affairs. It would be very useful in a graduate level course on international relations, on war and peace or on Kant's political and historical writings. "
- Professor Sharon Anderson-Gold, Department of Science and Technology Studies, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
'This book is a fascinating read for all those interested in international relations and Kant's political thought. Eric Easley outlines very perceptively the history of the reception of Kant's seminal work Perpetual Peace in the English speaking world from its first translation to its present position as a foundational text in international relations. Easley focuses particularly upon the reception of the work in the twentieth century in thelight of the tumultuous ups and downs in world politics that have occurred. He employs effectively Karl Mannheim's theory of ideology to map these developments and illustrates strikingly how the influence of Kant's text ebbs and flows with the times. The book ends with a discussion of the immense influence Kant's arguments have had in the period following the collapse of Soviet Communism and suggests that Kant's stress upon the progressive role of republican governments still has a great deal to be said for it.'
