The Scholarly Quest for Utopia, Louvain, Leuven University Press, 2016.ISBN :  9789462700796Date de publication : 06/2016Direction de l’ouvrage/Auteur : Veerle Achten - Geert Bouckaert - Erik SchokkaertRésumé :‘A Truly Golden Handbook, No Less Instructive than Delightful, by the Most Learned and Distinguished Professors of the Renowned University of Leuven.’Leuven celebrates ‘500 Years Utopia’ : www.utopialeuven.be - The Future is MoreWhat would the ideal society of the future look like? In 1516, the eminent English humanist Thomas More tried his hand at imagining a perfect society on a distant island. His Utopia was published in the Flemish town of Leuven, home of a university that was established almost a century earlier. 500 years later, scholars of this university revisit More’s best-known work and reflect on the ideal society of the future, using the scientific insights of today, including perspectives which More could never have imagined.What will our cities look like a hundred years from now? How will stem cell research and 3D printing change the world? Will we be able to cure all diseases? Will we be traveling to other planets? Will computers take over? Or will humanity find a way to improve the quality of life for everyone and feed a growing world population? In ‘A Truly Golden Handbook’, more than fifty KU Leuven scholars share their science-based utopian dreams. From the creation of spare organs, artificial intelligence and the genetic future, to global governance, ecological sustainability and pathways to more equality, this visionary book offers a broad interdisciplinary look at the world of tomorrow.ContributorsAll contributions were written by academics of KU LeuvenConny Aerts, Ivo Aertsen, Marc Boogaerts, Geert Bouckaert, René Bouwen, Frederik Ceyssens, Stephan Claes, Katrijn Clémer, Sara Coemans, Goele Cornelissen, Marc Craps, Joep Crompvoets, Lieven De Cauter, Ortwin de Graef, Jan De Lepeleire, Dorien De Man, Bart De Moor, Koen Devriendt, Rudi D’Hooge, Thomas D’Hooghe, Philip Dutré, Jan Elen, Liesbet Geris, Gerard Govers, Styn Grieten, Karin Hannes, Ann Heylighen, Hilde Heynen, Rianne Janssen, Rudy Lauwereins, Koen Lemmens, Peter Lievens, Katlijn Malfliet, Jan Masschelein, Terrence Merrigan, Yves Moreau, Bart Muys, Marten Ovaere, Jan Rongé, Erik Schokkaert, Frans Schuit, Maarten Simons, Manuel Sintubin, Stéphane Symons, Rik Torfs, Chantal Van Audenhove, Kenneth Van den Bergh, André Van de Putte, Hilde Van Esch, Inge Vanfraechem, Ine Van Hoyweghen, Geertrui Van Overwalle, Peter Van Puyvelde, Arne van Stiphout, An Verburgh, Peter Vermeersch, Johan Wagemans, Lode Walgrave.Table des matières :IntroductionVeerle Achten, Geert Bouckaert and Erik Schokkaert The Utopian HumanEngineering the HumanWill Life Go Live One Day?Bart De MoorPreventive Maintenance for a Future without DiseaseRudy LauwereinsDigital Health Care for Real PatientsLiesbet Geris and Ine Van HoyweghenThe Replaceable BrainRudi D’HoogeThe Genetic FutureBlood and Stem Cell Utopia: The Search for the Holy GrailMarc BoogaertsHealthy Genes for EveryoneKoen Devriendt and Hilde Van EschUniversal Reproductive Freedom and HealthThomas D’HoogheThe Health Care of the FutureEradicating Depression without Losing HumanityStephan ClaesRecovery without CureChantal Van AudenhovePerson-Centered Health Care without FragmentationJan De Lepeleire Utopian SocietyThe Governance of the FutureUtopian Public Governance: Cloudy, Cloudier, CloudiestGeert Bouckaert and Joep CrompvoetsCreative Democracy and the Global CitizenPeter VermeerschFreedom of Expression: Rediscovering Speakers’ InterestsKoen LemmensResponding to Crime through RestorationLode Walgrave, Ivo Aertsen and Inge VanfraechemThe Citizen of the FutureReligion as a Utopia?Rik TorfsDiversity without a Group ApproachKatlijn MalflietBuilding upon Disability ExperienceAnn HeylighenCo-Creating the Future NowMarc Craps, Styn Grieten and Rene BouwenSchool: Everyone Can Learn EverythingAn Verburgh, Maarten Simons, Jan Masschelein, Rianne Janssen, Jan Elen and Goele CornelissenThe Market of the Future2100: A Good Life in a Global EconomyErik SchokkaertWage without WorkMarten Ovaere, Kenneth Van den Bergh and Arne van StiphoutInnovation without Property?Geertrui Van OverwalleUnlimited Energy in a Finite World: A Stepping Stone from Humanity to ‘Humaneity’Jan Ronge and Dorien De Man The Utopian WorldThe City of the FutureLutopia: An Ideal City in an Ideal WorldHilde HeynenThe Future of the EarthThe Moral Obligation of a DreamFrans SchuitIs There a Common Future for People and Trees?Bart MuysThe Long and Difficult Road to the Land of Cockaigne 2.0Gerard GoversA World without Man, the End of the Anthropocene?Manuel SintubinThe Planets of the FutureTowards Other Worlds in the Milky WayConny Aerts and Katrijn ClemerInterstellar Expeditions with a Medieval MindsetFrederik Ceyssens Utopian KnowledgeThe Materials of the FutureSuperatoms – More with Less MatterPeter Lievens3D Printing: The Making of UtopiaPeter Van PuyveldeThe Information of the FutureThinking and Conscious Machines?Philip DutreThe Geek ReformationYves MoreauThe Science of the FutureThe (App)Sense of Numbers and Narratives in Social Science ResearchKarin Hannes and Sara CoemansThe Ideal Organization of Science: Two Simple but Utopian ProposalsJohan Wagemans On Utopian ReflectionMore’s Mere Words: Utopia Writ LargeOrtwin de GraefEngaging History: Religion and Politics in UtopiaTerrence MerriganUtopia Rediscovered: A Redefinition of Utopianism in the Light of the Enclosures of the CommonsLieven De CauterIt Always Seems Impossible until It’s DoneStephane SymonsWhat’s Wrong with Social Utopianism?Andre Van de PutteSource (site éditeur) : KULeuven
