Utopia is mankind’s longing for a better society.
Utopia is the most beautiful society in human ideology, just like the early "utopian socialism" in the West. The utopian socialist society proposed by a Western scholar: beautiful, everyone is equal, there is no oppression, and it is like a paradise. Utopian love is also extremely beautiful.
Utopianism is a type of social theory that attempts to promote certain desirable values ??and practices by presenting these values ??and practices in an ideal country or society. Generally speaking, Utopian authors do not believe that such a state is possible, at least not in the form in which it is so perfectly described. But they were not engaging in a merely imaginary or chimerical project, as the popular use of the term utopianism suggests. As shown in Plato's Republic (the first true utopia), the purpose is usually to construct an ideal society based on a certain concept (justice or freedom) by enlarging it. group form to demonstrate some fundamental properties of the concept. In some other cases, such as Sir Thomas More's Utopia (1516), the goal is mainly criticism and satire: to subtly contrast the good people in Utopia with the evils of the author's society at that time, And use it to condemn the latter. Only a handful of utopian authors—Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1888) is a good example—attempt to transform society according to the blueprint carefully laid out in their utopias. By its very nature, the function of Utopia is to inspire.
