National and international policy foundations for the 21st Century - a new contribution

In these turbulent times, guidance is needed from the greatest minds in history. Gottfried Leibniz in effect created the modern idea of progress and industrial power, and promoted the idea of national institutes of science and broad education in scientific, industrial techniques.

Austi Classics has released key articles by Gottfried Leibniz using the classic translations of Leroy Loemker.

Leibniz provides a roadmap for the purpose and role of humankind. If the purpose and role of humankind is not understood, then policy cannot be formulated effectively. We would be left with what we have today – government for private finance, with the future of humankind a secondary consideration at best.

These essays from Leibniz are input for:

  • All who are concerned about the direction of the world; 
  • Students of political science, economics, political economy, history, philosophy and theology; 
  • Would-be politicians and statesmen unhappy with the direction and decisions of the current political elite; and 
  • Professional policymaking circles to provide structure and direction to fulfil your responsibilities to the public.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz conceived the idea of the modern nation state, the Western conception of progress, and the concept of human power. Leibniz was a jurist, diplomat and peacemaker, and was critical in the discovery of steam power and generalizing the steam power to more intensive forms of power.

Citizens, policymakers, jurists and lawmakers need a refresh and Leibniz gives us the direction and framework we need to refresh policymaking principles and substance at the national and international levels.

The book National and international policy foundations for the 21st Century: with Leroy Loemker's classic translation is available or sale online for $USD 7.90 here.
