In the long history of western philosophy,the word utopia still stands firmly in the stream of history after several centuries.In modern times,it was gradually forgotten by people because of its utopian defect of being divorced from reality.For more than half a century,the cultural logic and anti-utoh trend of late capitalism have swept across the world,and people's vision of the future has gradually declined.Since the mid-20 th century,the realization of utopian ideals has become increasingly elusive.Frederic Jameson in view of the weakness of utopia,using dialectical,overall,the perspective of history to reveal and critical nature of late capitalism,mining way,that is a fact of utopia in dedicated to point out the direction for the utopian practice,and by means of criticism and reflection,to awaken people dusty utopia desires,provide spiritual power for people's social practice.Jameson absorbed the thoughts of utopian spirit in the 19 th century utopia theory,and added the viewpoint of utopian reality,took "anti-dystopia" as the core of his own thoughts,and explored the dual functions of realistic criticism and guiding practice of utopia.He rediscovered and sorted out the fragments of utopian theory in the western society,and put forward a new utopian thought in line with the characteristics of The Times.Jameson constructed system of more realistic utopia,is subversion and innovation of predecessors' utopia,the reality of the idea to construct specific as follows: first,Jameson insist on using the method of marxism and dialectic thinking method transformation of utopia,given a utopia integrity of dialectic traits,and the feasibility of the pursuit of a collective nature of mankind in the future.Secondly,it makes up for the absence of utopia from reality,analyzes the prerequisite of utopia realization,and discusses the key factors in the process of utopia realization.Thirdly,in the face of the characteristics of time weakness and space chaos in the postmodern space,Jameson studied the dilemma of the existence of time and space in the previous utopian theory,and found the realistic development way for utopia to reduce or even eliminate the distance between time and space in hyperspace.Although Jameson's utopian thought has some flaws,he has eliminated some shortcomings of previous utopias and provided a possibility for the realization of utopias.Through his own efforts,Jameson makes the long-dormant utopian theory shine again,makes people who are blinded by the post-modern thoughts recall the utopian desire,andprovides a way to realize the present and the future.Faced with the monopoly of late capitalism,he tried to find a different way in the third world countries with a global perspective of cognitive mapping.Although Jameson's thought has certain tendency of subjective idealism,he USES marxism to analyze the postmodern environment and develops the utopian theory,which has certain enlightenment function to the future development of our country.
