- Title
The spirit of experimental socialism.
- Authors

- Abstract
Despite the widespread disenchantment with utopias, contemporary philosopher Axel Honneth argues that socialism still has a future. Honneth's argument brings to mind late sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, who celebrated socialism as the active utopia of the modern epoch and the counter-culture to capitalism. However, while Bauman was disenchanted by the fall of the Soviet Union and almost gave up the very idea of a collective alternative, Honneth proposes a revision of socialism and a revival of its spirit, calling for a post-Marxist logic of historical experimentalism or a post-Marxist spirit of experimental socialism.
