Excerpt from Kant's Principles of Politics: Including His Essay on Perpetual Peace, a Contribution to Political Science
Kant undoubtedly owed much to the fact that he was a thorough scientist before he became a speculative metaphysician. His own development was typical of the revolution in the method of thought which has pro duced modern philosophy that certain knowledge of the real world must be the basis of all true knowledge of the ideal world, or that Physics must precede Metaphysics.

Excerpt from Kant's Principles of Politics: Including His Essay on Perpetual Peace, a Contribution to Political Science
In 1795, during Washington's administration, just as our great American experiment in self-government had been inaugurated, Immanuel Kant published in Konigsberg his memorable tractate on "Eternal Peace." It was in many respects the most remarkable prophecy and program ever made of the day when the war drum shall throb no longer, and the battle flags shall be furled in "the parliament of man, the federation of the world." The prophecy is never forgotten by those who are in earnest about having it fulfilled. The name of Immanuel Kant, greatest of modern philosophers, is honored in Europe and America alike as that of the preeminent philosopher of the peace movement. But few perhaps remember the words in his immortal essay which seem a special prophecy of the part which our republic seems destined to take in the promotion of the cause in which the great philosopher was a pioneer. "If happy circumstances bring it about," wrote Kant, "that a powerful and enlightened people form themselves into a republic, - which by its very nature must be disposed in favor of perpetual peace, - this will furnish a center of federative union for other States to attach themselves to, and thus to secure the conditions of liberty among all States, according to the idea of the right of nations; and such a union would extend wider and wider, in the course of time, by the addition of further connections of this kind."
It was a remarkable insight of Kant's that universal peace could come only with the universal republic.
