Abstract

In his published writings Kant uses the word ‘democracy [Demokratie]’ five times and the word ‘democratic [demokratisch]’ four times. Probably the two most significant occurrences are in To Perpetual Peace (1795) and in The Doctrine of Right (1797) although Kant makes passing yet significant uses of the word also in the Anthropology, in Religion and in the Contest of the Faculties (1798). The paper discusses Kant's changing atitude towards democratic goverment through a textual analysis of the different occurrences of the word 'democracy' in his political writings..
