The Kantian Legacy in Kelsen’s Philosophy of International Law

Abstract

This article defends a narrow theoretical relation between Kant and Kelsen in the field of philosophy of international law. We argue for a theoretical heritage concerning the concepts of sovereignty, monism, and the requirement of an international law as a necessary element for achieving peace. The methodology used is hermeneutical and analytic-conceptual.

Keywords:
Kant; Kelsen; International Law; Cosmopolitanism
