Concrete Utopias and the Anthropocene

From the very beginning, human history was characterized by the integration of humans into their natural environment. In order to survive, it was essential to adapt to natural conditions on the one hand, and to change these to such an extent that they could be used by humans (for survival) on the other. I In (particularly Western) history, this duality shifted towards the “cultivation” of nature, or with the (scientific) thinking of the Enlightenment, and subsequently in economic growth thinking towards the (destructive) adaptation or even destruction of nature to achieve short-term “profit”. The results include the environmental catastrophe and the associated social problems, such as escape and "migration" and resource wars and the ever-increasing division of society into more poor and fewer rich people. These global social changes are not only reflected in the erosion of the organization of (democratic) societies, but also in social coexistence and social coldness, which is expressed not least in exclusion and ethnic division efforts. The question that arises here is to what extent concrete-utopian aspirations can be brought together with political realities of power constellations in order to stop the end of history.
