Abstract
At this point, it may be useful to recapitulate briefly what has been presented thus far. We have discussed two modes of thought—environmental theory and utopian speculation—in light of their historical development, the issues they focus on, and the problems they encounter. We have critically examined four utopias, providing a detailed data base for subsequent analysis. We now wish to direct each mode of thought toward the other. In this chapter, we consider how environmental thought can inform the utopian imagination, how it can contribute to the utopian project, and how it can assist in resolving, or at least clarifying, the problems that have arisen within utopian thinking, particularly the problems suggested by antiutopians.
