Nachhaltige Utopien in der offenen Gesellschaft

Remi Maier-Rigaud

Z'GuG Zeitschrift für Gemeinwirtschaft und Gemeinwohl, 2021, vol. 44, issue 1, 69-78

Abstract: Utopias have been criticized as being static, paternalistic and promoting totalitarian structures due to their typical promise of a better, but distant future that puts hardship on today’s society. Nowadays this criticism has been refuted, partly because utopias have become relative, dynamic and critically explore the dark side of their own societal ideas in their strive for the common good. Accordingly, the line between positive and negative utopias is blurred and one’s utopia can quickly turn into a dystopia, depending on the perspective. Based on critical, relative and real utopias a strong, non-anthropocentric sustainability concept is outlined and its political instruments discussed.
