Abstract
The last chapter of Henri Bergson's The Two Sources of Morality and Religion can still today be read as a powerful incentive to reflect upon alternative models of social organization. This article compares Bergson's 'Final Remarks' and P. M.'s Bolo'bolo in order to demonstrate how Bergson's foreseeing economic analysis and plea for peace can concur with more recent radical political criticism and potentially lay the ground for concrete projects. Bolo'bolo can in many ways be interpreted as a response to Bergson's call for cultural change 50 years before. To advocate the implementation of a worldwide network of small communities or 'bolos' is to follow the inspiration of the 'open society' agenda, thus contributing to keeping the utopian spirit alive.
