Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of the free state, contrasting it with the absolute state prevalent in German political philosophy throughout the 19th century. The author traces the evolution of the idea of an absolute state from the work of Kant, Fichte and Hegel, to the work of Bernhardi, Lasson, Naumann and Treitschke. This absolute state is characterized by its worship of power, its subordination of all other interests to the state, and its glorification of war. The author argues that this model of an absolute state has had a pernicious influence on modern German history and has contributed to the rise of totalitarianism. By contrast, the author argues for a truly free state, one rooted in democratic principles, recognizing the rights of the individual, and committed to peace. Understanding the nature of the absolute state and the free state is essential to comprehending the challenges of the modern world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …
