<p><em>The Ends of Utopian Thinking in Critical Theory</em> offers a critical account of how utopian thinking became defeated as a tool of philosophy whose explicit objective has been to not only analyse but emancipate the world. While such philosophy was originally inseparable from ideas of a radically better society it aimed to realise, many of its most influential practitioners today object to the use of utopian ideas. Countering this scepticism, Nina Rismal offers a moving defense of utopian thinking. By elucidating a concept of utopia freed of its alleged pitfalls, <em>The End of Utopian Thinking in Critical Theory</em> contends that utopian thinking indeed presents an important resource for achieving emancipatory social goals.</p>
