The studies in the history of ideas in this book deal with select political ideologies in Britain, Hungary and Finland. The pivotal issues the author tackles are: how ideologies worked in different political cultures and how ideologues formulated them in search for rationale to their quest for power? One general observation emerges: ideologies were nuanced according to the context of their conception and reception but remained fundamentally uniform in one important respect: the ideologues purported to make their reform programmes persuasive by appealing to the latest discoveries of science, however inapplicable in politics they may have been.
