Kant, cosmopolitanism, right, coercion, world republicAbstract
In this paper I defend two theses: 1st. That Kant’s juridical cosmopolitanism has a processualist point of view concerning the realization of normative ideals, which implies a direct duty to create a free federation of states and the indirect duty to establish a world republic; 2nd. That these duties have a distinct juridical character, in the sense that they are not analytically related to coercion. At the end I also advance some reflections on the juridical aspects of the world republic in contrast with other contemporary models that have a Kantian heritage.
