"This innovative book explores the role of utopian thinking in law and politics, including alternative forms of social engineering, such as technology and architecture. Building on Levitas' Utopia as Method, the topic of utopia is addressed within the book from a multidisciplinary perspective. The book addresses central questions surrounding utopian thinking: What are its implications for law and politics? To what extent does it constitute a desirable vision? What are its risks or dangers? How is utopia related to ideology? An impressive selection of contributors reflect on the challenge of utopianism and its attraction, advancing the global public debate on social and political issues. Divided into three accessible parts, this book discusses the relationship between utopia and the law, the notion of utopian politics and utopia in architecture and technology. Addressing the topic of utopia from a variety of perspectives, this book will be an interesting read for academic scholars and students in the field of law, legal and political theory, philosophy, ethics, sociology, religious studies, technology and architecture. In particular, it is relevant for scholars who are interested in the dynamics of social, legal and political change"-- Utopias. 10173 Sociological jurisprudence. 10174 Ideology. 10175 Hope. 10176 Utopias. fast 10173 Sociological jurisprudence. fast 10174 Ideology. fast 10175 Hope. fast 10176 Klink, Bart van, editor. 10177 Soniewicka, Marta, editor. 10178 Broeke, Leon van den, editor. 10179 Online version: Utopian thinking in law, politics, architecture and technology.
