Abstract

Utopia includes general writings about a number of different ideas or dreams to describe or consider the creation of a better society than the current situation. This utopia represents a kind of desirable philosophical attitude towards the future of humanity along with criticism of the existing situation, The main problem of the research is what components of the philosophical utopia are oriented towards the future? And in what way and in the form of what components is the writing of Utopia oriented towards the future? In the process of answering such questions, the nature of utopia and the background of writing utopias are first explained. Then, components such as perfectionism, seeking justice and philosophical ideas are reported in a way that is aimed at the future of humanity and provides a clear perspective. The most important finding and result of the research is that writing a philosophical utopia can be a way to draw a bright future for humanity. In fact, each of the components is a transition from an unpleasant past to a favorable future
