Towards „the true politics”: Kantian phenomenal approach to Utopianism

Summary/Abstract: Kant took seriously care to distinguish his theory about republican constitutionalism from these projects developed by utopian thinkers, posing an out of time last level of civil progress as an ideal cosmopolitan society. In parallel with this model, his political project would take concrete form in a phenomenal republicanism of all States, which represented his true counterproposal to realist theorists of the State and of International System. The claimed relevance of moral life in mankind however enabled him to establish the rules of “the true politics”, not relegated into chimeric projects of earthly utopias, but, above all, unyielding toward empiricist simplifications of human history and nature.
