Abstract
This article engages in the contemporary discussion on utopia by exploring Adolfo
Sánchez Vázquez’s philosophy. The fall of the Berlin Wall has led to debates about
the “end of history” and to doubts about the possibility of achieving the ideals and
values embedded within the Marxist utopia. To deal with this challenge, contemporary scholars have revisited Marxist tradition to recover the hope stemming from utopia. However, these readings have not taken into consideration Sánchez Vázquez’s
contribution to this topic. With a view to addressing this omission, this article analyzes philosophical assumptions underlying Sánchez Vázquez’s approach. By exploring his Philosophy of Praxis and by highlighting its anthropological assumptions,
this study demonstrates the extent to which his works provide theoretical underpinnings and resources for contesting contemporary discourses on the “end of history”
and for recovering utopia after the fall of the Berlin Wall
