Sinopsis

The Sphere and Duties of Government is a political treatise written by the renowned German philosopher and statesman, Wilhelm von Humboldt. Originally published in 1854, the book explores the role of government in society and the responsibilities of those who hold positions of power.Humboldt argues that the primary function of government is to protect the individual rights and freedoms of its citizens. He believes that a just government must be founded on the principles of liberty, equality, and the rule of law. Humboldt also emphasizes the importance of education and the cultivation of individual talents and abilities as essential components of a free and prosperous society.Throughout the book, Humboldt critiques various forms of government, including monarchy, democracy, and socialism. He argues that each system has its strengths and weaknesses, but ultimately, the success of any government depends on the character and abilities of its leaders.The Sphere and Duties of Government is a seminal work in the history of political thought and remains relevant today as a critical analysis of the role of government in modern society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy, government, and the nature of power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
