Kant On History
Immanuel Kant explored history not as a random series of events but as a process driven by a hidden purpose of nature, leading humanity towards a rational and morally just society. His philosophy of history, detailed in works like 'Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose,' suggests a teleological progression towards enlightenment, perpetual peace, and a cosmopolitan order, guided by reason and the development of human capacities.
