Utopia Through the Ages

Auditoria Belgrade

🏛️Utopia Through the Ages

Have you ever wondered what an ideal society might look like? If so, you're in good company: Plato, Thomas More, Francis Bacon and many others have pondered it too.

Throughout history, people have tried to answer the question 'What would the best possible state look like?'

The lecture will take you on a quick tour through the history of utopian ideas:

• what the very first utopia was like and whether you'd want to live there
• how Thomas More's famous "Utopia" was structured
• why thinkers dreamed of a return to nature
• what the secret republic of scholars looked like
• how this relates to contemporary techno-utopianism
• how the utopian projects of the past influence our lives today

🗣 Lecture by: Aleksey Ryzhov — a philosopher by training, a teacher and an analyst by experience. He studied political science at the Faculty of Philosophy of MSU, and now turns academic ideas into lively public lectures.
