Max Nettlau’s Utopian Vision gives a historically grounded presentation of the entire literature of utopianism. Nettlau shows an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject. He passionately believes that the value of utopian thinking and class struggle should not be underestimated as utopian desire exists in all of us. Utopian thinking, according to Nettlau, stimulates the imagination and awakens the desire to attain a better life for everyone. Without it, human progress is impossible. |
“Max Nettlau’s Esbozo de historia de las utopias, translated into English for the first time as Max Nettlau’s Utopian Vision, is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of utopianism or anarchism. Toby Widdicombe’s translation supplemented with extensive notes concerning the often forgotten but important authors and movements makes it an invaluable tool for any researcher.” —Lyman Tower Sargent, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Missouri-St. Louis.
