The House is in a State

Christian Wolff's Oeconomica in the context of public welfare

von Antonia Karaisl von Karais

The book focuses on methodology, argument and context of 18 th century philosopher Christian Wolff’s last book, the Oeconomica . This work, a rationalist guide to household morality, is discussed in conjunction with Wolff's natural law-based welfare state theory. A case study at a cross-section of philosophy, political science and history, it dissects the ideological conflation of private and public interest in the absolutist state.
