PEROZA, Juliano. Anticipation and development: the utopian thought and the paradox of human development. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.59, pp.999-1021.  Epub 05-Fev-2020. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.18.059.ds01.

This article aims to present the paradoxical tensions between the utopian thought and human development. The theoretical and methodological premises of the investigation are hermeneutics and bibliographical research, with the purpose of understanding and interpreting the link between utopia and development. Firstly, there will be a historical and philosophical discussion on utopia and education, in order to demonstrate, from ancient times up till now, some concepts of development perceived through reference of the utopian thought, which are in the foundations of Western thought, based on the references of Platão (2006), Cambi (1999), Jaeger (2010), More (1997). Secondly, a discussion is made on the epistemological premises of the utopian thought, understood as the view of the “still-not-aware”, which dialectises into history the search for the “already-still-not”, based on the works of Bloch (2005. 2006). And, lastly, there shall be a reflection on the paradox of human formation in dialog with the reference for utopian thought Furter (1968; 1977/78). It may be concluded that human development, in the perspective of utopian thought, reveals a paradox: the problematization of what’s to come for the human species, with an inconclusive-conclusion in the horizon.
