ABSTRACT Utopia, or the idea of the ideal society, is an integral part of political theory. It is concerned with the critique of existing society and its improvement. This is the point of Thomas More's Utopia. Notions of social perfection and harmony are not blueprints for social engineering as this has totalitarian and authoritarian consequences. There are important differences between millenarian visions as well as differences between classical and modern Utopias. The reason for this is the impact that the Enlightenment had on all forms of thought and utopianism in particular.
