Архитектура утопического воображения: попытка концептуализации

Аннотация

The article investigates the relationship between sociological thinking and utopian imagination. Analyzing common epistemological interpretation of utopianism (utopia is determined primarily as a thought experiment on the construction of «ideal types»), author concludes on the need to re-conceptualize the utopian imagination in sociology. Drawing on texts of Ralf Dahrendorf, Karl Mannheim and Niklas Luhmann author allocates specific «codes» - elements of the cognitive style of the utopian imagination, traces the differences in cognitive formulas of utopian (paradoxical) and ideological (tautological) narrative.
