Utopia/Crisis/Justice

Description
“Utopia is a name that has always
been linked to crisis: as a reformist or revolutionary response to antagonisms
and contradictions in the social, political and economic order, as a means of
contemplating and urging a world to come during a period of transition and uncertainty.
But crisis is in Greek a word for judgment, both in the narrowly juridical
sense and in the sense of intellectual appraisal and evaluation.” (USS
and UC)
