Résumé
"Man is a wolf for man" wrote the 17th century philosopher Thomas Hobbes . He meant that men, in a state of nature, were constantly fighting against each other. The history of International Relations fits completely in this analysis since groups, ethnies and later nation -states have always been waging wars among them for land, interests or power. Hobbes defined peace among men like a simple truce, "a period when war was neither imminent nor actually being fought" .
But can we really consider that this point of view define peace? With Kant and the Enlightment, which opened modernity, mankind learnt that this vicious circle of fighting and slaughters could be abolished for ever, and that a "perpetual peace", synonim of a peaceful new order had to be settled. Here, we will consider that the Kantian concept of peace is the only one. Can we say then that "peace is a recent invention"?
