Early Educational Reform in North Germany and Its Effects on Post-Reformation German Intellectuals
2001 0-7734-7457-9
This study analyzes Martin Luther’s view of the state, supported by his theology and his view of human nature, as it was incorporated in the educational system of early modern Germany. This view of the state and the individual’s relationship to the state remained an internal part of the German educational system in the north and continued to have a demonstrable impact on later German intellectuals: Leopold von Ranke, Johann Gottfried Herder, Georg W. F. Hegel, and Wilhelm Dilthey.
