The Importance of Ideals
Ideals are important in social reality, but they have been neglected in theories of law, politics, and morality. This book has the role of ideals as its central theme. More specifically, it argues that ideals are necessary to understand pluralism, that they are key elements in controversy and debate, and that they enable development. It combines theoretical analysis of the concept of ideals with discussion of concrete debates and cases, including philosophical debates about politics and equality, sociological studies of the diverse interpretations of the rule of law, and accounts of the development of environmental law and privacy law. Thus, the functioning of ideals is critically examined, showing the merits and limitations of an ideal-oriented approach.

Life's Basis and Life's Ideal: The Fundamentals of a New Philosophy of Life
Rudolf Christopher Eucken, Nobel Prize-winning author, penned this book on life philosophy that combines historical and constructive elements. Eucken's work emphasizes the relationship between philosophical concepts and the age in which they exist. His philosophy focuses on the practical application of religious inspiration to society, rather than just intellectualism. Eucken's ethical activism is rooted in the belief that humans possess souls, making them part of the intersection between nature and spirit. The author emphasizes the importance of overcoming one's non-spiritual nature through continuous effort and striving for a spiritual life. The book also delves into social and educational issues, making it a must-read for anyone interested in practical idealism.
