Abstract
Abstract Cameralism, one of the most important currents of economic thought in German-speaking countries in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, assumes a systematic and comprehensive form in the works of Johann Heinrich Gottlob von Justi (1717–1771). Justi tried to ground cameralism philosophically by way of what he termed ‘political metaphysics’. This theory essentially deals with the following topics: human nature, the state, and natural law. The aim of the present paper is to analyse the key concepts of Justi's political metaphysics as well as the line of reasoning adopted by him. It thereby sheds new light on cameralism as political metaphysics.
期刊介绍：
The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought (EJHET), a peer-reviewed journal, has quickly established itself as a leading forum for lively discussion on a wide range of issues in the history of economic thought. With contributions from both established international scholars and younger academics, EJHET is entirely pluralist and non-partisan with regard to subjects and methodologies - it does not subscribe to any particular current of thought, nor relate to any one geographic zone. The Managing Editors and Editorial Board and Advisory Board members are drawn from throughout Europe and beyond, and are committed to encouraging scholars from around the world to contribute to international research and debate.
