Abstract

Within the narrative, the Utopians undergo a shock of recognition when the little expedition of Europeans lead to the introduction of Christianity and then modern technology. A utopia is by definition an ideal society and therefore does not need to change. In fact, by the strictest standards of logic, such a state cannot change, because it represents perfection - to change was not only introduce imperfection, it would betray a previously latent imperfection that allowed for the change. Paradoxically, no utopia can be perfected, because such a society--whether an imagined speculation or an existent state--must have been created by a fallible, limited human being
