The "Practical Philosophy" of Christian Thomasius
Journal of the History of Ideas 32 (2):221-246 (1971)
Abstract
The avowed simplicity of thomasius' practical philosophy conceals its real complexity. His treatment of reason and will, Moral and political obligation, And freedom and authority particularly bears this out. The impact of his political philosophy was to transmute the operative ethos of absolutism by demonstrating that while absolute power was possible, Absolute authority was an absurdityLinks
