Ideen zu einem Versuch, die Gränzen der Wirksamkeit des Staats zu bestimmen

Authors:Wilhelm von Humboldt, Eduard Cauer

Summary:This text is important both as one of the most interesting contributions to the liberalism of the German Enlightenment, and as the most significant source for the ideas which John Stuart Mill popularized in his essay On Liberty. Humboldt's concern is to define the criteria by which the permissible limits of the state's activities may be determined.
