Ernst Bloch}",
year = "2012",
note = "The aim of the essay is to rescue, from a critical
perspective, the most relevant notions that shape
Blochian´s thought and also to check the extent of his
philosophy today. E. Bloch's philosophy is developed in a
crossroads built on four representative figures of the
history of philosophy: Aristotle, Hegel, Marx and Freud.
The analysis of the "utopian function", understood as the
human capacity to subvert the order of the real, is the
heart of the work. Therefore, it is postulated as a
philosophical tool capable of transfiguring and change the
current status quo. Throughout the monograph, some major
problems associated with the work of Bloch are stated. The
fundamental issue deals with the difficult articulation
between human utopian projections and the world understood
as utopian topos, i.e. between the transforming capacity of
utopian thought and the material limits imposed by given
conditions. Solving this link between utopia and matter
requires challenging the traditional notion of
subjectivity.",
