The influence of cameralism and enlightenment upon the sanitary policy promoted by the Habsburgs on Transylvania (1740-1800)

  • TITLU în română: Influenţa cameralismului şi iluminismului asupra politicilor sanitare promovate de Habsburgi în Transilvania
  • Subiect: The study of each policy reveals patterns and reasons for its implementation. The reforms were a result of a plan initiated by the Empress Maria Theresa and her son and councillors in order to centralize, modernize and give cohesion to the Monarchy who was seriously affected by numberless wars and economic crisis. The rulers initiated these reforms out of a responsibility toward their subjects and state. The reason of these reforms was not only pragmatic (the danger of epidemics and the welfare of a state that needed money for its army and security) but the ideals and ideas of the enlightened intellectuals of the epoch. A comparative analysis of the and primary sources (ordinances, law projects, sanitary brochures and pamphlets) and secondary literature in the health discourse elaborated in Austrian, German and Transylvanian territories lead us to the conclusion that 18th century was marked by unity in the health discourse. In all German speaking lands and Habsburg domains the Enlightenment ideals of rationalism, progress, education, freedom, coexisted with the cameralist theories that aimed at promoting new strategies of government to increase the welfare of the state and with a severe social discipline.
