Toward Perpetual Peace #3 - The Logic of Peace

About this event

PLEASE READ THIS To help keep our meetings safe and welcoming, first-time attendees may be asked to briefly turn on their camera at the beginning of the meeting so the host can verify participants. AT OUR LAST MEETING We got through most of the First Definitive Article and have one last paragraph left over. Ordinarily, I would assign you to read it and then skip discussing it unless someone has a question about it, but it's an interesting paragraph, so we're gonna start with that final paragraph of the First Definitve Article for next time.

PARKING LOT I added two new questions that came up with the last meeting. If anyone wants to take a stab at answering them, they're down here in the parking lot. If you are familiar to the Kant group and want to give a presentation on your answer, let me know. I welcome the opportunity to give others some presentation time. https://open.substack.com/pub/kantandkoffee/p/parking-lot?r=2rot22&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true RESOURCES Here is a link is on the Critique of Judgment.
