RESUMO

The main purpose of this monograph is to reflect about the manifestation of the utopic element in the thinking of Pierre Furter, based on three of his principal works published during his stay in Brazil in the sixties. The works are the following: "Educação e Reflexão", "Educação e Vida" and "A Dialética da Esperança". The monograph is divided in three chapters: the first one refers to a revision of the concepts of utopia and ideology in general and is about how these two categories were defined by the author. The second chapter analyses the context of the author s concerns, reviewing briefly some topics of the polítical context of Brazil in the sixties. Finally, the last chapter discusses the theme of hope, demonstrating how the utopic element appears in this discourse, showing the distinction between utopia and utopism as to the author s reflections. The main conclusion of this monograph is that the utopic element manifests himself through the urgency of the necessity to understand that utopia is an inherent part of human life. The utopia in Pierre Furter appears as a relation of derivation which proceeds between known reality, which can be verified empirically, and a desirable reality, which has not yet been established. In that manner, we could say that the utopic element in the thinking of Pierre Furter defines itself by the characteristic of transitority
