This book is also available in german titled »Die Realität der Ideale«.

»When fundamental norms break down and the public debate degenerates into a shouting match, we need principles that serve as a beacon: Ideals to which we can remain committed.«

Omri Boehm is the political thinker of the moment. This volume collects his most important public speeches: The philosopher talks about friendship in dark times and its relationship to truth and equality. He recalls the interrupted Jewish-German tradition of ethical monotheism. And he explains why state sovereignty must be limited by the principle of human dignity in order for peace to be possible.

A book that advocates giving utopian thinking a chance.
