A chapter in The State as Utopia, 2011, pp 41-56 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract To begin with, the paradoxical title of this chapter has to be explained: As is well known, utopias are considered incomprehensible or abstract (what is more, utopia comes from the Greek for “no place,” which speaks for itself). This is down to the fact that – according to today’s understanding – utopian ideas are extrapolated into the future, which implies uncertainty. If the talk here is nevertheless of a “concrete utopia,” it should be mentioned that Justi has reflected his ideas precisely.
