The famous prison reform proposal of Jeremy benthamThe father of utilitarianism. A building where everything is monitored from a single location, without being seen, and where the prisoners end up internalizing the guard's gaze to the point of monitoring themselves. An example of utopian reform that carries within it the perverse and corrupting seed of dystopia.

Reflection on utopia and dystopia—their historical evolution, contemporary manifestations, and future potential—extends beyond historiographical or academic spheres. It constitutes an essential effort to recover a set of crucial conceptual materials for diagnosing the present.
