Abstract
Unlike environmental theory, utopian thought is concerned with a future world, a world that does not yet exist but that perhaps could come to be. Utopists examine the future rather than the present. Despite this future orientation, utopists make no claim to describe definitively what will be. Their vision is one of the potential of mankind and a call to realize that potential.
