Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms |
Utopia
Utopia is the emblematic example of
the great deception of self-sufficiency. It is the parochial pretending to be
the catholic , the fragment to be the whole.....And even when
unpretentious(?) it shows an arrogant sort of blindness toward
the reality in which it is inescapably
nested in.
The perfect community , the
Garden of Eden , a just and loving reality, all floundering
presumptions fatally flawed and prime causes of suffering
and cruelty. Good intentions, catastrophic results.
