Summary/Abstract: In this article I see the “realistic utopia” as a moral and political paradigm that can orient us towards a satisfactory life in our own society. I analyse the status of realistic utopia, the chances to build it and whether nowadays movements of protest (often juxtaposed with those of the ’68) are credible subjects for its completion, or not. This is the reason why it is important to analyse Sartre and Marcuse. They were two of the ‘68 inspiring figures, but we have to unravel their thought from the exclusive reference to that period and vogue, because still today they can provide us the conceptual tools to comprehend, and therefore to shape, the world in a realistic utopian way.
