- Abstract
Political ideas are of increasing importance in explaining the changes in politics, alongside interests and institutions. The article evaluates the changes that ideas have caused in social politics and analyses the different views that political research has on ideas. Ideas represent the pervasive political paradigms which enable detachment from established interest settings and provide for more independent political actors. The emphasis is on analyzing the application areas of the ideas by asking whether the ideas function as beliefs, political means or perhaps goals. Ideas have become a way to conceptualize and realize future options which guide development in the desired direction. The article addresses the subject from a social ethical perspective, offering conceptual tools for evaluating the effects that ideas have on paradigm shift and appreciation of new values.
