From 1785 on Herder also developed a sustained though mostly implicit critique of various aspects of his erstwhile mentor’s political thought, including his ideal of perpetual peace. The talk will focus specifically on Herder’s critique of Kant’s evolving theories of the modern state and international order and on his alternative vision of the possible pacification of Europe.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
