KANT, Immanuel.

Politische Meinungen, oder über die Redensart: First edition under this title of Kant's later work of political philosophy, focusing on the idea that something that works in theory may not work in practice. The book develops an early version of his proposal for a federation of democratic republics, an idea which evidently contains "an outline of a world league of nations" (PMM).Adickes identifies this as an unauthorised edition of Ueber den Gemeinspruch (1793), which was published in volume VIII of the Akademie-Ausgabe.
