ENLIGHTENMENT AND MILITARISM IN THE SOCIAL THOUGHT OF FREDERICK II

Summary/Abstract: The war has very important place in the social thought of Fredrick II Hohenzollern, King of Prussia. For him, the inescapable fate of mankind is to make war. His evaluations of this »fact« were very different. He condemned it due to his identification of the war with barbarity and fanaticism. But he knew also how to justify the existence of war and even to ascribe positive functions to it – like improving reason and developing virtues, such as courage, bravery, etc.
