Introduction

Christian Wolff is the most eminent German philosopher between Leibniz and Kant. His main achievement is a complete set of work on practically any scholarly subject of his time, displayed and unfolded according to his demon­strative-deductive, mathematical method, which perhaps represents the peak of Enlightenment rationality in Germany.

Wolff is also the creator of German as the language of scholarly instruction and research, although he published also in Latin, so that an international audience could, and did, read him. A founding father of, inter alia, economics and public administration as aca­demic disciplines, he concentrated especially in these fields on advice, on practical matters for members of government, and on the professional nature of university education. Although he was a quintessentially continental thinker, both in form and in content, his work is said to have had a strong impact even on the American Declaration of Independence (Goebel, 1920).
