From the Back Cover
This book is one of the great works of the human spirit. It is a critical history of the utopian vision and a profound exploration of the possible reality of utopia. Even as the world has rejected the doctrine on which Bloch sought to base his utopia, his work still challenges us to think more insightfully about or own visions of a better world.
About the Author
Ernst Bloch (1885-1977) was a close friend and colleague of Georg Lukács, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Berthold Brecht. He made major contributions to socialist thought, although the ideas were regarded as heretical by orthodox Marxists. The Principle of Hope was written during the 1930s in the United States, where Bloch lived in exile from Nazi Germany.
