Book Overview

The Control of Ideals: A Contribution to the Study of Ethics is a philosophical treatise written by Hendrikus Boeve Van Wesep and originally published in 1920. The book explores the concept of ideals and how they can be controlled in order to achieve ethical behavior. Van Wesep argues that ideals are not fixed, but rather are subject to change based on individual and societal circumstances.
