Most Interesting 2020: Corradetti, Kant, Global Politics and Cosmopolitan Law

The seventh in our series "Most Interesting 2020":

Claudio Corradetti, Kant, Global Politics and Cosmopolitan Law: The World Republic as a Regulative Idea of Reason (Routledge 2020)

Kant, Global Politics, and Cosmopolitan Law. The World Republic as a Regulative Idea of Reason is an enlightening book for understanding the huge complexity of our contemporary political world. The book generously offers a unique lens by brilliantly reconstructing the development of international law through the fruitful key of Kant’s cosmopolitan thought and especially by proposing a novel focus on Kant’s notion of the world republic as a way of thinking in the form of ‘as if’ paradigm about international politics where the possibility of progression towards peace results from its use as a regulative idea.
