The textbook is intended for humanities students studying society, its individual spheres, mass consciousness, and the formation of public opinion. Utopia and Philosophy is a training course aimed at studying utopia as a meta-genre functioning at the intersection of philosophy, literature, and public discourse that affects actual social reality. The book considers such issues as the formation of the genre of utopia, factors affecting the content of ideas about an ideal society, the temporary dynamics of utopia and its subgenres, and the classification of utopias. A separate topic of the manual is the bilateral functional connection of utopian discourse with social reality - the influence of society on the content of utopia and the influence of utopia on the society in which it operates.
