Summary/Abstract: Utopia is considered as a system of symbolic stimuli by means of which it is possible to manipulate not only social but also genetic mechanisms. The author is not interested in utopias in general, nor their history, but "utopias that dominated the masses“ during one or two centuries, i.e. universal utopias that had social and cultural functionality for several generations. The strength of utopia lies in the fact that it uses the fundamental properties of man: insecurity, limitation, temporality in any social and metaphysical space. Utopias have a social, economic, psychological, anthropological and geographical function.
