G.W.F. Hegel on International Law - Dictionary of Arguments

Höffe I 338
International Law/Hegel/Höffe: The fact that the philosophy of law(1) in a world history ends up being a "slaughterhouse" and not as with Kant culminates in the highest political good, eternal peace, hardly earns Hegel any sympathy. Seen from today's perspective, from the dominance of a universalistic ethics of law with the idea of human rights and an increasing juridification of interstate relations, Kant appears superior.
>Peace/Kant
, >Law/Hegel, >State/Hegel.
HegelVsKant: Moreover, Hegel (...) rejects the idea of eternal peace, regards wars as indispensable for the "moral health" of peoples, and is content for interstate relations with an international law that does without a world legal order, and even without its modest precursor, a confederation of states.
>War/Hegel, cf. >Human Rights.
