Immanuel Kant on Power - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 317 Power/Kant/Höffe: The second addition to the "Friedensschrift"(1) examines the relationship between philosophy and political power. Under the ironic title "Geheimer Artikel zum ewigen Frieden" (engl.: "Secret Article on Eternal Peace"), Kant demands that all secrecy be lifted and that a free and public discussion be held on the principles of warfare and peacemaking. In doing so, he opposes the principle of publicity to the secret diplomacy that was prevalent not only at that time. It does not require that every step of the negotiations be made public, but it does require that the guiding political principles be examined for their inner honesty: Any principle that can only be successful in secrecy is morally and legally prohibited. >Principles/Kant. 1.
