In this article, I look back at an iconic text of the Enlightenment: “Perpetual Peace” by Immanuel Kant, published for the first time in late 1795. I compare it to the Helsinki Final Act of 1975. What both texts have in common is that they root in that 18th-century intellectual revolution we habitually refer to as “the Enlightenment”.
