“The liberal critique of the argument in favor of war is fundamentally different from that of the humanitarians. It starts from the premise that not war, but peace, is the father of all things. What alone enables mankind to advance and distinguishes man from the animals is social cooperation. It is labor alone that is productive: it creates wealth and therewith lays the outward foundations for the inward flowering of man. War only destroys; it cannot create. War, carnage, destruction, and devastation we have in common with the predatory beasts of the jungle; constructive labor is our distinctively human characteristic.”

“ it starts from the premise tht not war, but peace, is the father of all things”. This is what Immanuel KANT in his books : “Perpetual Peace”(1793)
“ The Metaphisics of Habits” (1797), “Anthropology” (1798) among others teachs us “ That in the order of ends ( and with him every racional being ) is an end in himself, that is, that he can never be used merely
as a means by any (not even by God) without being at the same time an end also himself, that therefore humanity in our person must be holy to ourselves”
