The book follows the spiritual development of Prussia at the moment when it becomes a significant European power. In this context, it shows various ideological frames and manifestations of political philosophy of the 17th and 18th centuries, from the Dutch to the French experiences and paradigms. Particular emphasis is placed on the dominance of the idea of raison d’état in the Prussian Enlightenment, whose application had far-reaching consequences.
