»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.
