System-forming invariants of utopia are analyzed – rationality, criticality, transcendentality, universalism, and projectivity – in the context of post-modern world outlook.

The research objective is to prove the prolongation of utopian discourse after the period of modernism on the basis of systemic approach and philosophical conceptions substantiating the qualitative specificity of the modern society. The analysis is based on the correlation between the presence of specific features of utopian consciousness in the world-outlook picture of the world and the viability of the social utopia phenomenon. Each of the system-forming characteristics of utopia is revealed in the contradic...
