Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the rise of an ideology that became prevalent in Germany in the 19th century; namely, that of the state as the supreme good. The author traces the roots of this ideology back to the German Renaissance, which saw a shift away from religious authority toward a focus on secular humanism. This humanist perspective, combined with Cartesian rationalism, led to a belief in the supremacy of the State as an embodiment of reason and order. The author explores the implications of this ideology, particularly its authoritarian implications and its role in the rise of German nationalism. The book offers valuable insights into the historical and philosophical foundations of the idea of the State, particularly in the German context.
