| Abstract |
Situating Immanuel Kant within the discipline of political theory is not an easy task. While it would be a mistake to assume that Kant's philosophy is devoid of political insights, there is no one clear text that can be singled out as outlining Kant's political philosophy. Hannah Arendt, in fact, has argued that in many ways Kant's political philosophy is unwritten and even nonexistent.1 According to Arendt, Kant misunderstood his own contribution to political philosophy, which, in her opinion, was located in Kant's third Critique, the Critique of Judgement.
