description: Covell (political science, U. of Tsukuba, Japan) examines the jurisprudential aspects of the thought of Immanuel Kant (1724- 1804), specifically concerning his thoughts on the necessary foundations for peace among people and states found in the treatise Perpetual Peace (1795). The author argues that while Kant stands in the liberal tradition in international thought and practice, his liberalism is at odds with current trends in international thinking.
