| Abstract | "This historical study examines perfectionism and its political implications in the German lands between 1650-1850. Douglas Moggach demonstrates how a new perfectionism of freedom arose from Kant's critiques of older ethical-political theories, highlighting the central importance of Leibniz for later theorists of the state, society, and economy"-- Provided by publisher. |
