“Immaginare il mondo”. Resistenza, utopia e distopia in Ágnes Heller
Abstract
Like a karst stream, the theme of utopia has crossed Hellerian works from their beginnings just as to their end. In one of her writings, which appeared in 2016, utopia is understood as that imagination of elsewhere which saves us from dispersion and nihilistic and defeatist thought, and invites us to find that ideal community of people attracted to good and beauty with which to defeat the fears and anxieties of our time.
