Resumen
SANTIAGO OROPEZA, Teresa. Kant: War and moral progress. Rev. filos.open insight [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.11, pp.11-33. ISSN 2395-8936.
Kant's conception of war has been the object of many debates because, in theory, it could contradict his idea of moral progress of the species, due to the reason, that commands "there should be no war". My claim is that an accurate way of understanding Kant is to incorporate his judgment about war into his Philosophy of History, in order to explain how war is a vehicle for progress, even though, according to practical reasoning, there is not any moral way to justify it, unless we go against our own nature as moral agents.
