| Библиографическая ссылка | At one point he spells out, in gruesome detail, what he means by “revolutionary violence.” It includes “terrorism, conspiracy … guerrilla warfare … the taking of life, coercion, treachery, lying, destruction” (p. 24). Kateb adds that utopian revolutionaries “know when they begin their effort that their primary target, their enemy, is innocent men,” i.e., the “legitimate rules of nation‐states” (pp. 35f). |
| Библиографическая ссылка | In the beginning Kateb brands the “enemies of utopia” as not only “antiradical” but also “antireformist” (p. 2). Later he says that antiutopians, although they reject sweeping revolutionary change, favor the emergence of at least some Utopian ends, in a sporadic and piecemeal way, “from the efforts of gradual and peaceful reformers, working within the traditional framework of national politics” (p. 17). Thus he appears to be saying contradictorily, that critics of utopia both accept and reject reformist methods. |
| Библиографическая ссылка | In this assimilation of Hegel to Marx he follows Popper, from whose book, The Open Society and its Enemies, he has borrowed his own title. However, Kateb rejects most of Popper's antiutopian and antirevolutionary arguments. |
| Библиографическая ссылка | In a recent work Kateb speaks of “Hegel's intolerable adoration of the state” |

| Библиографическая ссылка | Kateb's use of the term ‘later’ rather than ‘future’ is characteristic of what philosophers of time since McTaggart have called the “B—theory” of temporal order (whose operative terms are ‘earlier‐later’ or ‘before‐after') in contrast to the “A‐theory” (whose operative terms are ‘past‐present‐future'). Kateb appears to accept the claim of the B‐theorists that A‐determinations can be reduced to B‐relations, e.g., that an expression like ‘future generation’ can be defined in terms of the expression ‘later generation’. I would myself insist on the irreducibility of A‐determinations. (For further discussion, see |

| Библиографическая ссылка | Kateb himself seems to admit this when he writes that “the practical difficulties inherent in going from the real world to utopia by way of a violent revolution are overpowering” (p. 202). |
