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.

Empty Ideas
During the middle of the twentieth century, philosophers generally agreed that, by contrast with science, philosophy should offer no substantial thoughts about the general nature of concrete reality. Instead, philosophers offered conceptual truths. It is widely assumed that, since 1970, things have changed greatly. This book argues that's an illusion that prevails because of the failure to differentiate between "concretely substantial" and "concretely empty" ideas.

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.
Red Hamlet: The Life and Ideas of Alexander Bogdanov
In this first full-length biography of Alexander Bogdanov, James D. White traces the intellectual development of this key socialist thinker, situating his ideas in the context of the Russian revolutionary movement. He examines the part Bogdanov played in the origins of Bolshevism, his role in the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 and his conflict with Lenin, which lasted into Soviet times. The book examines in some detail Bogdanov’s intellectual legacy, which, though deliberately obscured and distorted by his adversaries, was considerable and is of lasting significance. Bogdanov was an original and influential interpreter of Marx. He had a mastery of many spheres of knowledge, this expertise being employed in writing his chief theoretical work Tectology, which anticipates modern systems theory. See inside the book.
