Nieznośna utopijność utopizmu
The Unbearable Utopia of Utopianism

Summary/Abstract: The article critically examines the category of utopianism. It is an attempt to expose its both irremovable and disappointing features that make utopianism an ineffective tool to change the world for better. The rational instruments, unfortunately, are not sufficient to design a eutopia – a place of supreme happiness – because of the fragmentation of points of view taken on utopianism and its persuasive character necessary to disseminate every utopian vision. The article proposes to replace the utopian methodology for building a better world with so-called piecemeal social engineering and thinking in terms of ecotopia, that is gradual, adaptive changes in the environment of our life. The analysis includes M. C. Nussbaum’s ideas for improving educational systems.
