Task of Utopia - A Pragmatist and Feminist Perspective

Klappentext Are utopian visions viable in the 21st century? Utopia has been equated, for many, with totalitarianism. Such visions are not acceptable. The loss of utopian visions altogether is also unacceptable. This book argues that American Pragmatism and Feminist theory can combine to provide a process model of utopia that pushes to build a flexible future that helps us deal with change, conflict, and diversity without resorting to fixed ends. Zusammenfassung Erin McKenna argues that Utopian vision informed by pragmatism results in a process model of Utopia that can help form the future based on critical intelligence. Using John Dewey's works with feminist theory and literature! McKenna develops this pragmatist feminist model of Utopia.
