  1. Work, Love, and Learning in Utopia: Equality Reimagined by Martin Schoenhals.Samuel Gerald Collins - 2021 - Utopian Studies 32 (3):690-696.
    Generally, anthropologists are not thought of as contributing to utopian thought and, really, there are few anthropological monographs or articles with even the word "utopia" in the title. As the late anthropological futurist Robert Textor pointed out, this is due to earlier orientations: cultural evolutionism and culture history in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and an emphasis on the "ethnographic present" in the mid-twentieth that tended to represent other people as existing in a "timeless" present. Nevertheless, anthropologists have explored (...)

  • Between Aristotle and the welfare state: The establishment, enforcement, and transformation of the moral economy in Karl Polanyi's the great transformation.Sener Akturk - 2006 - Theoria 53 (109):100-122.
    William Booth's 'On the Idea of the Moral Economy' (1994) is a scathing critique of the economic historians labelled as 'moral economists', chief among them Karl Polanyi, whose The Great Transformation is the groundwork for much of the later theorizing on the subject. The most devastating of Booth's criticisms is the allegation that Polanyi's normative prescriptions have anti-democratic, Aristotelian and aristocratic undertones for being guided by a preconceived notion of 'the good'. This article presents an attempt to rescue Polanyi from (...)

  • On the Possibility of Marxist Ethics.Buket Korkut Raptis - 2018 - Beytulhikme An International Journal of Philosophy 8 (1):131-155.
    Marx avoided elaborating an ethical theory and criticized utopian socialism. Although Marx’s attitude towards these two issues is discussed separately in the literature, we will argue that they stem from the same ground in Marx. It is Marx’s devotion to scientific socialism that grounds his criticisms. We will first discuss the opposition between utopian and scientific socialism as Marx understood it. After elaborating some Marxist approaches in this debate, we will argue that any attempt at reconciling Marxism with ethics must (...)

  • The commonwealth of bees: On the impossibility of justice-through-ethos.Gerald Gaus - 2016 - Social Philosophy and Policy 33 (1-2):96-121.
    :Some understand utopia as an ideal society in which everyone would be thoroughly informed by a moral ethos: all would always act on their pure conscientious judgments about justice, and so it would never be necessary to provide incentives for them to act as justice requires. In this essay I argue that such a society is impossible. A society of purely conscientiously just agents would be unable to achieve real justice. This is the Paradox of Pure Conscientiousness. This paradox, I (...)
