Reason and Peace
In Kant's system there are two teloses for the human race--universal peace and rationality. These are not two distinctly existing goals, but two perspectives of one and the same condition. A peaceful society is a rational society, and a rational society is a peaceful society. Furthermore, according to Kant, the relation between the two is not merely a happenstance equivalence, but a logical bi-conditional--Peace only if Reason, and Reason only if Peace. In other words, Universal Peace and Kingdom of Ends are related as outer and inner.
