СОЦИЈАЛНО-УТОПИЈСКО МИШЉЕЊЕ И ИЗАЗОВИ У 21. ВЕКА
SOCIAL-UTOPIAN THINKING AND CHALLENGES OF THE 21st CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Essentially, this represents a snapshot of utopian thinking after the breakdown of systems of ,,real socialism‘‘ in Central and Eastern Europe. Is it true that the future of utopian thinking has already passed? Or might it be that there are some variants of utopian thinking that may not be disregarded when solving the coming problems of the 21st century? Zage develops a thesis that authoritative-etatist line of utopian thinking has run its course. However, he also stresses that, since Morus, utopian discourse has a capacity to learn. This capacity enables utopian thinking approach to regenerate and, on the background of massive erraneous developments, act as regulatory principle in the global context. On the example of the Rome Club 1991 report ,,Global Revolution‘‘ he develops what only makes political utopia possible: namely, to develop, within media of secularized mind and using its tools, solution strategies for a world that is still threatened by nuclear holocaust, destruction of environment on a global scale, exploatation of non-renewable raw materials, shortage of foodstuff, domination of irrational governmental structures appearing as new nationalism and religious fundamentalism, as well as unchecked expansion of population in the undeveloped states of the South.
