Summary/Abstract: The relationship between the concepts of utopia and ideology is very complex, and there are such fundamental disagreements over the nature of both that they can be classed as “essentially contested concepts.” As a result, as scholars trying to understand the relationship regarding specific texts, we have to be careful to make clear how we are using the concepts and then do so consistently.
