The book 'Contemporary Utopian Thought' by Antonio Monclús Estella, published in 1981 by CEAC, explores the analysis of contemporary utopianism through a process carried out in different stages. The author, a doctor from the Complutense Universities of Madrid and the Sorbonne of Paris, proposes a progressive tension towards the climax, fundamentally coinciding with the 19th century and the romanticization of political discourse. It is presented as a utopian thought not only critical and contesting, but also maximalist, revolutionary and anti-reformist. The book examines how contemporary utopian thought has evolved towards an evident anticlimax, influenced by works such as those of Huxley and Orwell, and how the political thought inherited from utopian maximalism has undergone a change of course. The author leaves the door open to a fundamental problem of utopian thought today: the relationship of utopia with the concept of hope and with the concept of the future.
