【Course Objectives】

In this course, by reading carefully and intensively various texts concerning the idea of "perpetual peace", students are expected to deepen their understanding of its content, theoretical framework, one thinker's influence on other, and the connection between text and context.

【Course Contents】

In the 18th century Europe where war never ceased, various arguments on the possibility of "perpetual peace" emerged. In this course, we focus on the political thoughts of Saint-Pierre, Rousseau and Kant in particular, and read their texts with reference to the recent studies. Considering the intellectual heritages and problems that the 18th century political thought left behind, we deal with a lot of issues and propositions such as rivalry between love of country and love of humanity, peace through commerce, relationship between political regime and international peace, establishment of collective security by means of confederation of nations, problems that standing army and public debts cause.
