"вещь в себе", нечто изолированное, абстрактное [этим. нем. das Ding an sich филос. вещь в себе]The people's struggle for democratic rights is not a struggle for "a thing" in itself. It is fired by the great liberating ideals of freedom, equality and fraternity.

Она воодушевляется великими идеалами, ее лозунги - свобода, равенство, братство.
