The Alternative to Utopia Is Myopia*

Boaventura de Sousa Santos

Politics & Society, 2020, vol. 48, issue 4, 567-584

Abstract: This essay, written in memory of Erik Olin Wright (1947–2019), considers Wright’s project of constructing and identifying real utopias. It confronts a tension in Wright’s oeuvre, the question of the knowledge by means of which reformers can identify the utopias that ground the really existing real utopias.
