A covenant of peace should aim to end war for ever, not just one war
Drawn from what Immanuel Kant said
What Immanuel Kant actually said
- Immanuel Kant German philosopher (1724 to 1804), born in Königsberg
Hence there must be an alliance of a particular kind which we may call a covenant of peace (foedus pacificum), which would differ from a treaty of peace (pactum pacis) in this respect, that the latter merely puts an end to one war, while the former would seek to put an end to war for ever.
