A common view suggests that Kant's political community and ethical community differ significantly in their theoretical foundations,institutional content,and feasibility.The former emphasizes the highest political good,aiming to achieve perpetual peace among nations through coercive rights and progressive reforms.The latter,on the other hand,embodies a theological conception of goodness,presupposing God as the highest legislator,thereby universally prescribing moral laws for all individuals.The"rupture"between these two theories of community challenges the systematicity and integrity of Kant's practical philosophy.However,Kant also mentions a kingdom of ends community,which is based on the highest good in the moral world and aims to achieve a state of mutual responsibility,legislative will,and equal freedom through moral self-discipline among agents.This not only inherits the ethical community desired by moral beings but also stipulates the prerequisites for the connection of political community,thereby providing a foundational guarantee for the genuine pursuit of perpetual peace among nations.
