Müssen Utopien sozialistisch sein?

Abstract: After differentiating between unrealisable and fundamentally realisable, only at present not really Utopias, the author asks whether, following the collapse of the socialist models - the cause of which he briefly analyses, Utopian thinking has on the whole been exhausted. He denies this by demonstrating the great line of liberal models of Utopian order, which focus on freedom, property and the family, starting with Aristotle. Here too there are wide-spanning models, including and in particular, in the present. Several are outlined including, among others, the minarchistic models of Hayek or Friedman, Hoppes “natural order”, or Kohrs subsidiarity Utopia of the small state. The hour of such models should now have arrived, even if their radical variants continue to remain utopian for the time being. Utopias do not have to be socialist! We need idealistic models of order for personal orientation and in order to judge politics.
