Abstract | ||
In the twenty-first century the studies on peace and conflict-resolutions have focused on different aspects of geo-politics and uneven globalization in order to achieve world peace. Many peace studies have used historical evidences to convey the importance of social, political, and moral philosophies. Side by side, they merge theories and thoughts, and provide useful principles, policies, and rules in their forward march. These studies focus on critical analysis of war incidents, economic stabilization, and people-to-people connections to establish world peace. Still, the many states today ignore the moral standards of living in peace. Consequently, war and war-like incidents occur sometimes here and sometimes there. I take this opportunity to revisit the general moral standards set by Immanuel Kant through his celebrated article "Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch" in the endeavour of establishing global peace on a permanent basis. Keywords: Perpetual Peace, Kingdom of Ends, Summum Bonum, Peace Studies, Morality, etc. | ||
