RUSSO'S THEORY IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN STATE: VIEWS OF KANT, FIFTE, AND HEGEL
Abstract
The article analyzes the influence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's political philosophy on the development of freedom and state concepts in the works of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel. The author examines the key elements of the "social contract" theory and their interpretations in German classical philosophy. Special attention is paid to the ideas of freedom and subjectivity, which evolve from Kant's normative understanding to Hegel's dialectical synthesis. The study shows that Rousseau's concept of freedom played a key role in shaping the foundations of the philosophy of law and political theory of the new era.
