Abstract Pedagogy of Hopelessness. After the End of Utopia The end of utopia, of which Herbert Marcuse speaks in 1967, means both: the illusory, because false, realization of the ›better life‹ in and as capitalism as well as – therefore – the suspension of a concrete utopia as a dream of a human world. As culture-industrial spectacles, utopian social ideas turn into dystopian visions of the future; social, even socialist fiction becomes mere science fiction. In a world of accumulated crises that threaten humanity, utopia is now missing. To learn to hope again would be – not only pedagogically – necessary the utopian project of ›delearning‹ hopelessness. There is no alternative. utopia – critical pedagogy – principle of hope – critical theory – Herbert Marcuse
