Immanuel Kant addresses a question often asked in political theory: the relationship between practical political behavior and morality: how people behave in politics and how they should behave. Observers of political action recognize that political action is often a morally questionable business. Yet many of us, whether involved in political action or not, feel that political behavior could and should be better than this. In Appendix 1 of Perpetual Peace, Kant explains that there is no conflict between politics and morality, because politics is an application of morality. Objectively, he argues that morality and politics are reconcilable. In this essay I will discuss two potential problems with Kant's position on the compatibility of morality and politics: his denial of moral importance in emotions and in particular situations in which an action seems at once politically legitimate and yet quasi-immoral; if from 'politics', understood as a set of principles of political prudence, and from 'morality', as a system of laws that bind us unconditionally. In Perpetual Peace, Kant writes, "all politics must kneel before law" (Kant, PP page 125). He argues that morality, in the sense of the doctrine of right, should command greater significance in political decisions, or even be the predominant consideration. To underline the distance between morality and politics, Kant quotes Matthew 10:16: “Be prudent as serpents and harmless as doves” (Kant, PP page 116). Wisdom is not sufficient if it is not led toward a goal consistent with an application to morality. Kant believes that the wisdom of the serpent is used for the improvement of morality. Not only should politics be congruent with morality, but also a properly conceived policy…at the heart of the paper…sometimes it is the mechanisms that keep the political wheels in motion. If politics were absolutely subservient to morality and honesty, this would seem not only unrealistic but also undesirable. Faced with this problem, a challenge for Kant would be to defend the practicality and intuitive desirability of “honesty is better than any policy.” Kant's statement in Perpetual Peace provides an inspiring vision of a just, peaceful, and flourishing cosmopolitan world. It is true that morality and justice require truthfulness, civil obedience, and a full set of fundamental rights and freedoms; However, since human nature and emotions subsist more than duty to the moral law and there are circumstances that require lying, civil disobedience such as revolutions and temporary limitation of rights and freedoms, a conflict exists between morality and politics.
