Review Description

This article focuses upon Kant's apology for the commercial society in his "Toward Perpetual Peace." Such apologies, which can be summarized under the title "le doux commerce, " were widespread in the 18th century. Many philosophers and historians, such as Montesquieu, Hume, Voltaire, and Ferguson were part of this group. The crucial point for Kant was to combine such an apology with his teleological conception of history, which he developed in his "Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Point of View.".
