The book entitled Ethical Theories and Their Contributions to Indonesia, written by Johny Christian Ruhulessin, aimed to rethink ethical ideas from leading ethical figures, such as Stanley Hauerwas, Max L. Stackhouse, Charles McCoy, Ronald Thiemma, and Robert N. Bellah. The ethical ideas of these figures have become very popular in the social and political fields, especially in sciences and theology. However, there is an impression that ethical education refers to studying the Bible as the only standard of life. Of course, it is not wrong, but ethics cannot be understood only by standards and the law.

<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-GB">The academic character of the article is connected with the attempt to answer the question asked in the title: Utopia without the law – is it possible? The theoretical arguments provided by the author lead to an affirmative answer to this question and allow for formulating the following thesis: there is no utopia without the law. The law is not only present in utopias, both positive and negative ones (anti-utopias and dystopias) but also, to a great extent, determines their existence and functioning. As a result, it links utopian thinking to reality. Any answer to this question is possible and justifiable in the academic discourse. According to the author of this article not only the law is present in the utopia but the law in the utopia must exist. The essence of the law in utopias is justice, but there is not justice in utopias without wisdom. The Bible, Roman law and philosophical and legal reflection were the sources of an approach to law for the creators of utopia. Referring to the views of such thinkers as: Plato, Immanuel Kant, Rudolf von Ihering, Gustav Radbruch, Karl R. Popper, Bronisław Baczko, the author states that the law is an integral part of both worlds: the utopian world and real world. So, there is not utopia without the law as an idea of jusctice, implemented into the social life of the people who are intelligent beings.</span></p>
