More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Immanuel Kant was one of the most influential philosophers in the whole of Europe, who changed Western thought with his examinations of reason and the nature of reality. In these writings he investigates human progress, civilization, morality and why, to be truly enlightened, we must all have the freedom and courage to use our own intellect.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
About the Author
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was one of the most influential philosophers of all time. His comprehensive and profound thinking on aesthetics, ethics and knowledge has had an immense impact on all subsequent philosophy.

Take a good look at the Publisher before you buy "Perpetual Peace"
15 July 2010
Format:Paperback
The version of "Perpetual Peace" published by General Books LLC is a low quality version, using OCR scanning and an automated scanning device which can miss complete pages. Typos are frequent and there's no table of contents, also, there was absolutely no editing of the book. This is all stated on the publishers web site (google them and read up on the details).
The owner of General Books LLC, VDM Publishing, is, as a comment to the previous review stated, "polluting Amazon" with these ripoffs - almost every review of their books (approximately 500,000 of them from one of their imprints or another now listed on Amazon) by an actual buyer is negative, many are extremely so.
So be sure to craefully check which Punlisher you're ordering this book from - the Penguin version is undeniably good quality - Penguin actuall edit their books, unlike "General Books LLC." If you have bought the version from General Books LLC by mistake, you can return to Amazon within 30 days(but check Amazon's Return Policy for the details)

Not sure how or why this was published.
31 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This looks more like classroom notes than a philosophical work. There are enough typos to make the book incoherent and the content doesn't flow at all. I honestly can't determine where the editor's notes end and the author's work begins. Aside from that, it appears that Kant's solution to war is world unification, a single country. There are definitely better works by Kant, and probably better presentations elsewhere for his proposals on perpetual peace.
Okay, a better explanation. This is NOT a book you want to buy. If you preview the book on Amazon, you'll get a message that says:
"Just so you know...
You originally clicked on the Paperback edition (2009) from General Books LLC. You are looking at the Paperback edition (2009) from Penguin Books Ltd. If you add this book to your cart, you'll get the edition you originally clicked on."
The content of the General Books version is completely, entirely, undeniably different than the version from Penguin Books. I believe the Penguin books version may have merit, but be sure not to buy the General Books version. There's actually a disclaimer in the General Books edition that says the book was created using OCR and there may be missing or extraneous characters inside.
