Politische Ideale, written by Houston Stewart Chamberlain and first published in 1915, is a political treatise that examines the foundations of political ideology and the role of national identity in shaping political thought. Chamberlain, a British-born German philosopher and writer, argues that political ideals are not universal but are instead rooted in the unique cultural and historical experiences of each nation. He contends that a nation's political ideals are shaped by its race and that racial characteristics are the primary determinant of a nation's political identity. The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Chamberlain explores the concept of political ideals, arguing that they are not abstract concepts but are instead grounded in the practical realities of a nation's history, culture, and social structure. He also examines the relationship between political ideals and the state, arguing that the state is the embodiment of a nation's political ideals and that the two are inseparable. In the second part of the book, Chamberlain turns his attention to the role of race in shaping political thought. He argues that racial characteristics are the primary determinant of a nation's political identity and that different races have different political tendencies. He also explores the relationship between race and culture, arguing that racial characteristics are reflected in a nation's culture and that cultural differences are ultimately rooted in racial differences. Politische Ideale was controversial when it was first published and remains so today. Chamberlain's views on race and the role of national identity in politics have been widely criticized as racist and nationalist. However, the book is also seen as an important contribution to the study of political ideology and the relationship between race and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
