Immanuel Kant on Politics - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 317 Politics/Kant/Höffe: In the two-part "appendix" to the peace treatise on "Morals and Politics", politics is defined as an "exercising doctrine of law", i.e. the application of legal-moral principles to changing historical situations. [There are] three guiding principles of Machiavellian provenance: 1) Fac et excusa. Seize the opportunity (...). 2) Si fecisti, nega. (...) deny what you yourself have done wrong (...). 3) Divide et impera. Höffe: On the part of politics, Kant recognizes the principle of being as smart as snakes. But in order to escape an "immoral doctrine of wisdom," it must be restricted by morality (...). Höfe I 318 Whoever works toward the kingdom of justice demanded by pure legal reason, "the benefit of eternal peace" will of its own accord come to him/her. 1. Kant, Zum ewigen Frieden, 1795_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
