This commentary on Rossi’s The Ethical Commonwealth in History will address three points of interpretation related to Kant’s conception of the ethical community/commonwealth (ethischen gemeinen Wesen). First, I will raise a number of concerns related to Rossi’s use of Kant’s concept of the highest good. Second, I will examine the relevance of the overall project of Kant’s Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason to his discussion of the ethical community, a matter that Rossi does not take up. Third, I will challenge the optimism that Rossi assigns to Perpetual Peace in light of its closing “antinomy between politics and morals.”

罗西（Rossi）的《历史上的联邦伦理学》（The Ethical Commonwealth in History）的这篇评论将论及与康德（Kant）的伦理共同体/联邦概念（ethischen gemeinen Wesen）有关的三个解释点。首先，我将提出一些与罗西对康德最高利益概念的使用有关的担忧。其次，我将研究康德在纯粹理性的边界之内的宗教整体项目与他对道德社区的讨论的相关性，而罗西对此并不关心。第三，鉴于罗西对“永久和平”的封闭的“政治与道德之间的对立” ，我将挑战乐观主义。
