A Contemporary Reflection On Utopia

When talking about “Utopia” today,people always regard it as a sheerdaydream or an unscientific theory.What’s more,some people even treat it astotalitarianism or tyranny.From then on,the destiny of “Utopia” has beenchanged thoroughly.It didn’t mean to imagine or pursue a better life,on thecontrary,it became the greatest obstacle to the realization of peace anddevelopment.Why did this situation happen?Does “Utopia” really have no goodanymore?If not,what would be possible?When we get down to review itsdevelopmen history,we’ll be astonished to find out its own “Ariadnethread”——the spirit of Utopia——which is throughout the development ofUtopia.Indeed,we should reject all the utopian plans,but we couldn’t reject theutopian spirit,because it’s our humans’ fundamental spirit.Especially at thismoment when Utopia has been suspected and criticised widely,backing to itand reconstrucing its spirit are the most important things. Backing to “Utopia”means to continue the spirit of Utopia,and the iconoclastic utopians such asEmst Bloch will show us a possible way.
