Rethinking Utopia is a collection that discusses utopian thinking
in relation to different philosophical themes. It seeks utopianism
in political theory (particularly in Kant and Derrida), populism,
Turkish Islamism, international law, and it fleshes out themes of
modernism and classless society in the selected utopian examples.
By discussing and showing the relationship between utopia and these
topics, the book shows that the range of subjects related to
utopias is wider than the current literature suggests. The book
attempts to bring together academic fields, which are not
cross-fertilized in the existing debates on utopia, by building
bridges between actual politics and futuristic visions. On the one
hand, it looks at utopia as a means to think about and reconfigure
contemporary politics (as in the case of international law and
populist politics); on the other hand, it investigates how
different philosophical/literary texts, from widely-known More and
Le Guin to lesser-known Turkish Islamists Kisakurek, Karakoc and
OEzel, imagine their distinct utopian vision where a new form of
anarchist, classless or Islamist society could be possible.
