Seid utopisch!

Utopias are discredited for being crazy, nonsensical fantasies, far removed from reality and even further from feasibility. "That's utopian, isn't it?" they say again and again. But Björn Hayer shows how necessary it is to put one's own behavior and sociopolitical discourse through their paces and to set out in search of the non-place Utopia. There is no shortage of opportunities to find it and make the world a better and more sustainable one - which is so desperately needed.
After a brief history of utopia and different approaches, Hayer introduces concepts in art, literature, and music, explores ethical and ecological issues (e.g., animal ethics, political veganism), and presents sustainable, pioneering urban planning projects and educational reform ideas.
Björn Hayer's clever essay, which spans many disciplines, is a wake-up call and book of possibilities that counters outdated patterns with new and innovative movements of thought.
