"This book is the outcome of a workshop on utopia and ideology organized in
Budapest under the auspices of the Central European University’s Institute
for Advanced Study in cooperation with the Humanities Initiative in 2014. As
the editor states in his Introduction it can also be regarded as a late
contribution to the 2016 quincentenary of the publication of Thomas More’s
classic Utopia. The articles here are classified into the two main sections of the
book entitled 'utopia with a political focus' and 'utopia with a literary focus'.
In his concluding remarks, the editor expresses his hope that the book may ultimately lead its readers to maintaining the possibility of human civilization in the next five hundred years.”
