Zderzenie ideologii i utopii. Jakobińskie ruchy społeczne XXI w. w świeckiej odsłonie
The clash of utopia and ideology. Jacobin social movements in the X XI century in secular version

Summary/Abstract: The starting point of the paper makes a theoretical analysis of the phenomena of ideology and utopia from the classical opus by Karl Mannheim, which has been consequently confronted by the ideas from the Shmuel N. Eisenstadt treatise The Jacobin Component Of Fundamentalist Movements. The following synthesis repre-sents the theoretical model that can be used to follow the aforementioned “Jacobin component” in social movements, which seem to be fundamentally divergent. Different secular movements have been analyzed along similar critical lines. Opposite movements were selected for this analysis. Among secular movements there are anarchist and feminist movements. In conclusion, the indications are that, firstly both ideological and utopian stands are no strangers to divergent social knowledge structures, social action, intellectual and social processes. The second one underlines the fact that social knowledge, which is generated, distributed and sustained in diverse and divergent social environments, has actually similar sources, origins and structure.
