Abstract
The essay analyses Ernst Bloch’s concept of utopia, which refers primarily to the transformative content of reality and is declined according to the category of objective- real possibility. Against any reading of the utopian content as a fantastic and abstract transgression from reality, the concrete utopia becomes in Bloch a rigorous philosophical principle that orients the possible mediation of utopian desires and thoughts according to real tendencies.
