In 'Els bons salvatges', Ferran Sáez Mateu explores the failure of modern utopian projects. Why have attempts to emancipate humanity and achieve a perfect future led to death and destruction? Sáez Mateu argues that these utopias failed because they were based on an unreal vision of the human being, the 'good savage'. From its literary origin in the 16th century to its adoption by Rousseau, Marx and Engels, this idealized figure led to the disturbing artificial paradise of communism. Tired of this perfect future, the false 'good savages' returned to reality in 1989, leaving the Western left defending marginal causes.
