The book “Perpetual Peace and the Rule of Law” with the subtitle “Dialectics of Similarity and Difference” can be useful for those who are engaged in research in the fields of general and international law, political science, history, philosophy, and international relations. This book, which examines the theoretical foundations of international law and explores the philosophy of pacifism, is divided into seven chapters with the following titles:

Unity among humans and coexistence of governments, peace; the silent struggle of similarity and difference, the sluggishness of reason; the triumph of peace over war, the control of power with power: the decline of self-sufficiency of governments and the manifestation of the rule of law in the international community, a safe space, signs of peace and governance; freedom, moral conduct, adherence to legal rules and the end of work: the beginning of thought.

There has always been the belief that the meaning of peace is clear and therefore does not need to be defined; with the initial assumption that peace means the absence of war and conflict. In fact, the general perception is that although peace brings tranquility, it does not eliminate war and even coexists with it. Dr. Hedayatollah Philosophi used philosophy to prove this, because in his opinion, it is only in this way that the rational form, meaning, and concept of peace can be observed. He also believes that peace is a rational concept and its absolute form can only be achieved when history moves away from its opposite, war, and this is only possible in the world of the divine. The author of this book believes that in the material world, peace is always relative; meaning that it is constantly accompanied by war, even though its goal is to eliminate it from its territory.

The present book is different from other works on international law, as it has a fundamental and philosophical perspective on every subject in this field and mentions the realities of the outside world as examples. It has always been assumed that the meaning of peace is clear and therefore does not need to be defined. In a possible definition of this concept, it is also stated that peace means the absence of war and conflict. The reality is that although peace brings about tranquility, it does not eliminate war and even coexists with it. The author uses philosophy to prove this point, as he believes that only in the world of philosophy can the rational form, meaning, and concept of peace be observed. What may seem obvious is that peace is considered a rational concept and its absolute form can only be achieved when history is free from war, and this freedom is only possible in the world of the supernatural. According to the author, in the world of the supernatural, peace is always relative, meaning that it is always accompanied

This book, in five chapters, establishes the similarities and differences between the concepts of unity and dialectical coexistence. In the first chapter, the author discusses the unity of humans and the coexistence of states. He examines this unity at the beginning of the book, as the lives of individuals and societies are intertwined and peace is meant to bring about tranquility in this collective life. In a section of the first chapter, the author emphasizes: “It is unimaginable for individuals of a nation to have been in harmony with each other before establishing peace among themselves and establishing a government of law and security.” The unity of humans and the coexistence of states form the main topics of this section. In the second chapter, the author does not consider peace as a silent struggle of similarities and differences, and examines the United Nations Charter. He sees this charter as a half-lit shadow of peace. Philosophically, in the third chapter titled “The Obstacle of Reason: Overcoming War with Peace,”

End of the Road: The Beginning of Thought. The title of the final book. In the previous six books, the author attempts to return issues and problems related to rights, peace, and rule of law to their main components and create a logical order among them. The final book of this series is actually an attempt to avoid prejudice and haste in understanding what was presented in the previous books. In the end, the author invites the audience to think about how rights have evolved in today’s world and how they have been able to effectively contribute to the creation of peace and rule of law in the face of two elements of will and reason.
