Utopia and the concept of utopianism appear to be waning in current educational, political, and philosophical discourses. In some contexts, utopia and utopianism are near synonymous with slurs for being impractical. This study proposes that utopia and utopianism are characterized by a quest for social justice, and that utopia is a concept worth valuing and rescuing, particularly within the field of education. Most of the social philosophies against which utopias raise their legitimacy (like post-modernism) seem to encourage a movement from ethics to aesthetics. A study of the nature of utopia in critical theory, critical pedagogy, and liberation theology, reveals that while utopias are necessarily provisional, they address the struggle for constructing and articulating ethical and material relations even in the modern era. Although critical theory and pedagogy, and liberation theology seem to reflect 'disenchantment with the world,' they reflect an ongoing struggle for imagining and constructing a more humane world where it is possible to live meaningful lives. That is, disenchantment with the world does not imply a rejection of the world. In exploring the quest for utopia in more than one discipline, the methodological conceptualization of this study shows that fragmentation (social, academic, etc.) is not necessarily a given.Subjects--Topical Terms:
