This three-volume text is a critical history of utopian vision and an exploration of possible reality of utopia. Even as world has rejected doctrine on which Bloch sought to base his utopia, his work still challenges us to think more insightfully about our own visions of a better Volume one lays foundations of philosophy of process and introduces idea of not-yet-conscious - anticipatory element that Bloch sees as central to human thought. It also contains an account of aesthetic interpretations of utopian wishful images in fairy tales, popular fiction, travel, theatre, dance and cinema. Volume two presents the outlines of a better world. It examines utopian systems that progressive thinkers have developed in fields of medicine, painting, opera, poetry, and ultimately, philosophy. It is an account of utopian thought from Greeks to present. Volume three offers a prescription for ways in which humans can reach their proper homeland, where social justice is coupled with an openness to change and to future
