Ethical Roots of List’s Economic Theory

In: The Political Economy of Friedrich List

Abstract

The Age of Enlightenment stretches from the mid-18th to the mid-nineteenth century. It begins with the Cartian consciousness, “Cogito ergo sum!” “I think, therefore I am!”. During this period, rational, reason-guided thought, became the focus of philosophical consideration. This includes overcoming superstition, resisting tradition and religious intolerance, and fighting for humanity and civil rights. In jurisprudence, Roman law as well as local and regional customary laws are undermined by natural law or the law of reason. Systematic scientific research is established, especially in the natural sciences and in technology.
