Summary/Abstract: In recent times, the world of the year list is dominated by concepts as fake news, post-truth, justice. The presupposition of my essay is that there is a crepuscule of the idea in the social imaginary. For a better understanding of this phenomenon, I sketched a matrix of ideology, utopia, conspiracy theory and dystopia. Those forms can be described both on positive and negative terms, but the main accent is on the disproportion between them. The (political) system needs an ideology to legitimate himself, and the ideology requests the utopia in order to contemplate the consequences of his action. The theory of conspiracy seems to be a complex form of popular fallacy, which has the origins in the lack of well elaborated and consensually well-based ideologies. In this sense, the utopia turns to be dystopic. Dystopia could be an expression form, which makes us aware of the fallacies of conspiracy theories, about the weaknesses of ideologies and strength of utopia.
