Gardens as utopies
A brief note on utopy and gardens.
Any philosophy student knows that "utopy" is a word, used by Thomas More in his book Utopy, written around the beggining of the Renaissance. The word has become a commonplace referring to something unreachable which, being an ampliation of its semantic field, tends to darken somehow its originary meaning, since 'topos is what is not a place, something unplaceable, something that is nowhere (Spanish philosopher JavierMuguerza offers an interesting reflection on the matter by prompting the idea that every 'topos is also a 'cronos, something that has no location in time).
Something that is not so clear is that a garden might be also a utopy. A couple of questions are enough to show that the correspondance is far from clear. Being a garden also a utopy їhow is that we find gardens everywhere? Even if the garden refers only to the very idea of a utopy (say, the correspondance is only a sort of metaphor) perhaps we are then talking also about an "idea" (say idealized idea) of the garden, a sort of archetype to which all its poor materializations refer?
This is a fertile approach. Of course, utopies do not exist. When something becomes real it leaves behind its utopic self. Thus the garden is an oscillanting, alternate object, a sort of "yes or not" changing self, thta being so becomes exciting and alluring. These utopies that are and are not at the same time, have been called "heterotopies" by Foucault, in an attempt to define this sort of "strange" spaces. So an approach, is a good way to see some liminal aspects of the garden: the property of the ground that supports it, for instance.

. Во реалноста премногу критериуми имаш оти секој критериум во реалност во смисла во општество за да декларираш нешто имаш критериуми кои секогаш можат да се сменат како примерот твој. Затоа у реалност како општо прифатена утопија, мало морген - секогаш ќе има некој што ќе каже не заради ова-критериум не е утопија. И затоа реков ако се бара утопија почни првен од себеси, па после пробај и по широко
