Summary/Abstract: The aim of our analysis is to bring into life a text from Kant's philosophical thinking, considered by most political thinkers and international law experts as an utopist, a philosopher of the transcendental idealism. What we focused on was the importance of a proper understanding of the Kantian message, in the today's global world, when a global ethics is desirable, based on universal norms admitted in a "society of states". Kant's plan of organizing the world foresaw a State Union, as the only way to prevent war and eliminate violence. Kant is, in our opinion, not only a thinker of the modern epoch; his ideas are still vivid nowadays.
