1 WAR, PEACE AND THE SOVEREIGN STATE: POLITICAL THOUGHT FROM MACHIAVELLI TO KANT Professeur : Giulio DE LIGIO Année universitaire 2016/2017 : Semestre d automne COURSE DESCRIPTION Classical political philosophy took its bearings from the ultimate goals of the city as they relate to the question of the good life. It considered the survival of separate political communities to be an uncontroversial aim. Modern political thinkers changed that focus in two apparently contradictory ways: Political conflicts and states of exception provided the starting point of their reflection; they came to seek the establishment of the conditions of a universal peace beyond the division of sovereign States. This course will try to develop a better understanding of the relationship between the practical and intellectual criteria modern political thinkers elaborated in order to legitimate the new political order and their interpretation of war and peace. We will discuss their arguments by reading passages of major works from Machiavelli s Prince to Kant s Perpetual Peace. We will not be able to reach a comprehensive understanding of their thought but to sharpen our perspective on international issues without evading the primary human questions raised by political life.
