'Allott's Eutopia is audaciously ambitious and unconventional in style and content. It seeks no less than to do for the 21st century what Thomas More's Utopia and Francis Bacon's Great Instauration did in the English Renaissance: To help bring about a transformation of human self-understanding, overcome fatalism and inertia ultimately grounded in mistaken ideas of the the human condition and the limits of human power, and become aware of the permanent possibility of making the human world into a ''place of happiness''.' --Mattias Kumm, New York University, School of Law'No international thinker today offers more profound insights, or offers more challenging questions, on the possibilities for law and philosophy to touch our lives and our world than does Philip Allott. A quarter of a century after publishing Eunomia, Allott unleashes an entirely original, magnificent, challenging and overwhelming book, one that asks us to confront fatalism and to imagine the possibility that thought and ideas have the power to enhance the future of the human.' --Philippe Sands QC, Professor of Laws, University College London, UK

'What would happen if you decided to rethink the human condition from the ground up? If you spent a lifetime at it, taking along the works of the greatest minds who tried this before? You might conclude, with Philip Allott, that ''the human species will need a revolution -- a revolution in the mind -- to become what it could be.'' And that ''we have the power to transform the human world.'' Eutopia is the work of a singular mind, a heroically independent thinker who brings the full power of his synthetic intelligence and style to bear in this philosophical tour de force. Allott will entertain you, challenge you, educate you -- and you may end up changing the world!' --David Kennedy, Manley O. Hudson Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
