Overview

Excerpt from The World's Legal Philosophies Kant's system was not only an intellectual bombshell in the field of the mental sciences, but it also started important and far-reaching developments in the social sciences.1 If persuasion is still necessary to show the importance of philosophies in the practical affairs of the world, that proof is readily found in the after-effects of Kant's ideas.' From the standpoint of the lawyer, per haps the most important position arrived at by Kant is his atomistic conception of the State and law: the State is the sum-total of the number of individuals in it.' The purpose of the State is simply to afford legal protec tion to its members in an equal degree. Such a State is limited solely to a protective function and in political economy gives the laissez faire princrple.'
