Rethinking Utopia - Interdisciplinary Approaches

The authors of the book believe that utopia is a multidimensional concept, hence best understood with a multidisciplinary perspective. The book seeks utopian thinking in political theory (in Kant and Derrida), international law, populism, Turkish Islamism, and it dilates on the themes of modernism and classless society in the selected utopias.
