This brief paper discusses -in the light of the 500 years of the publication of Tomas Moro’s Utopia- the implications of the “utopian mentality” today. From the commentary on four assumptions that define utopian thinking, it is asserted that utopias were centered on the whole world, called “society”; however, today they have been individualized and privatized. Despite this, there is talk of active utopias, which allow for an alternative vision of the future, one in which they function as “guides for social action”.

Palabras llave : utopia; evolution; narcissism; privatization; dystopia.
