How did German idealism influence Nakai's political thought?
German idealism, particularly the philosophies of Kant and Hegel, provided the very framework for my understanding of the state. Kant's emphasis on reason and universal moral law, and Hegel's concept of the state as the embodiment of objective spirit and the realization of freedom, profoundly shaped my teleological approach. I sought to demonstrate how the state, when properly constituted, functions as a rational organism pursuing its inherent purpose, moving towards greater self-consciousness and realization.
