Philosophical futurology and science fiction as forms of exploration of the future of society and its political world

A common tradition associated in many ways with the transition from utopian to scientific understanding of the future prospects of the company, was rightly subjected to criticism of utopian consciousness. The question is, whether this utopian consciousness helps to open new horizons, or whether it begins to slow ways of thinking about political reality from the scientific standpoint. Exactly the same criticism of utopia can be carried out from the standpoint of rejection of the proposed awareness that the world could be better than now, or from the standpoint of the transition from the purely romantic view to the scientific and rational ones. Accordingly, the point is to demonstrate the value of Utopia as a form of political thought, which in certain conditions may be appropriate and quite serious.
