Kant’s legal cosmopolitanism

In this paper I argue that Kant’s legal cosmopolitanism requires the perspective of the world republic, which implies the free federation of peoples as a necessary intermediate step. This interpretation is grounded on two arguments. Firstly, that the concept of world republic is juridically necessary according to Kant’s concept of law. Secondly, the rejection of a world monarchy and the defense of a free league of nations as a necessary intermediate step is grounded on critical metaphysical requirements, namely, a teleological connection between right and historical, anthropological, political and prudential considerations.
