Abstract

The aim of this article is not only to present specific images of paradise and utopia, which appear in various forms in the domains of European imaginaries throughout history, but also to show the connections of these images with the domain of political discourses aiming at changing the status quo and constituting a perfect, harmonious, and non-antagonistic community. The creation of such a community—despite the universalist visions that the imaginarium of paradise and utopia implies—is often based on the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. Mechanisms of this type are characteristic above all of maximalist political visions and ideas that seek to solve all human problems definitively and completely. Such aspirations are linked with revolutionary attempts to realize utopia or to build the kingdom of God on earth.

天堂的形象，乌托邦的形象:寻找社区

本文的目的不仅在于呈现历史上在欧洲想象领域中以各种形式出现的天堂和乌托邦的具体形象，还在于展示这些形象与旨在改变现状、构建一个完美、和谐、非敌对的共同体的政治话语领域的联系。这样一个社区的创建——尽管天堂和乌托邦的想象暗示着普遍主义的愿景——通常是基于包容和排斥的机制。这种类型的机制首先具有寻求彻底和彻底解决所有人类问题的最大主义政治愿景和思想的特点。这种渴望与实现乌托邦或在地球上建立上帝王国的革命尝试有关。
