Summary/Abstract: The utopian achievements, in order to change the foundations of sociopolitical or even human nature, are located in a static and, at the same time, revolutionary order. The historical failure of these achievements makes utopia an ambiguous and dangerous idea. Nevertheless, its critical and encouraging function is not to be given up but has to be able to serve “eutopic” projects.
