Abstract
In 1918 was published in Berlin the first book of the German philosopher Ernst Bloch entitled Spirit of Utopia. That book, never translated into Spanish, entail the philosophical program developed by its author all his life long and the basic conceptual frame used to work out his thought. Here we introduce some keys to understand that work so attached to its context. A historical context extremely complex in and for Germany, that is perfectly reflected in its most eloquent philosophical features by Bloch. Two core concepts are specially stressed in this text: darkness of the lived moment and not yet known. We explain their scope and range specially linked to one of the main chapters of this book, called The form of the unbuildable question.
