Abstract

This article intends to stimulate the study of the german philosopher’s work, which is contemporary but paradoxically forgotten. It examines some key elements of Bloch’s theory, its academic and political reception and the main categories that support his Philosophy of Hope. Based on his differentiation between utopia and Hope, the article finishes discussing the importance of Bloch’s criticism towards Eastern Europe and making some suggestions on the analysis of the crisis of the socialist utopia.
