Features: Lux uses the criterion of whether human rights concepts are contradictory or compatible to examine five ideal-type concept nations based on five major contemporary political thought prototypes. These five ideologies are: Utilitarianism, Communitarianism, Libertarianism, Communism, and Contemporary Liberalism. Lux further adds a military state founded on authoritarian conservatism based on violence and anti-enlightenment. Thus, we see the enlightenment optimist, Professor Nicolas Caritat – the modern Condorcet – who is unacceptable to the military state, forced to flee to various countries at the request of a resistance organization, searching for possible ideal societies. More importantly, he must, through the exploration of ideal societies, prove his beautiful belief in the progress of human society and the attainment of perfection will not just be a foolish illusion. Nicolas Caritat was originally an enlightenment scholar in the military state, living in an escape mindset, secluded in a comfortable study, discussing with 18th-century enlightenment thinkers every night, regardless of the turmoil of the world. One day, he was forcibly dragged out of his study by the military government and thrown into prison. With his life hanging by a thread, the resistance organization seized the opportunity to rescue him and entrusted him to act according to his beliefs, to seek a world of perfection as the blueprint for the guerrillas' state-building. Nicolas accepted the mission and embarked on a journey filled with hardships and unexpected turns. Passing through the Utilitarian State, the Communitarian State, and the Free State, his luck grew worse and worse until, in the end, he had no money, ended up on the streets, and nearly starved to death in a foreign land. Can Nicolas escape the danger and emerge unscathed? Can he find the world of perfection? And where is the world of perfection? This book not only reveals Nicolas's fate but also guides everyone to the "world of perfection," helping you recognize your own world.
