Where Rawls’s The Law of Peoples addresses war and the use of force then his position has often been identified closely with Walzer’s restatement of just war theory, as both positions appear to take nation-states, and the conflicts between them, to be the bedrock of the international system. On the other hand, Kant’s notion of a peaceful federation of states presents us with the notion of a world without war and where the international system is transformed. This article argues that Rawls’s account of the use of force is better understood if we read it with an eye to its resonances with Kant rather than with Walzer. Doing so rewards us with a clearer understanding of central aspects of Rawls’s account of just war and vision of international politics.

万民法中的战争与和平：罗尔斯、康德和武力的使用

罗尔斯在哪里万民法在谈到战争和使用武力时，他的立场经常与沃尔泽对正义战争理论的重申密切相关，因为这两种立场似乎都将民族国家及其之间的冲突视为国际体系的基石。另一方面，康德关于国家和平联邦的概念向我们展示了一个没有战争的世界以及国际体系发生转变的世界的概念。本文认为，如果我们阅读罗尔斯对武力使用的描述，并着眼于它与康德的共鸣，而不是与瓦尔泽的共鸣，则可以更好地理解它。这样做会使我们对罗尔斯关于正义战争和国际政治愿景的核心方面有更清晰的理解。
