It also contains a remarkable account of the aesthetic interpretations of utopian \"wishful images\" in fairy tales, popular fiction, travel, theater, dance, and the cinema. Volume 2 presents \"the outlines of a better world.\" It examines the utopian systems that progressive thinkers have developed in the fields of medicine, painting, opera, poetry, and ultimately, philosophy. It is nothing less than an encyclopedic account of utopian thought from the Greeks to the present. Volume 3 offers a prescription for ways in which humans can reach their proper \"homeland,\" where social justice is coupled with an openness to change and to the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is one of the great works of the human spirit.
