Exploring the interplay between utopia and dystopia, this book delves into the historical context of these concepts from Ancient Greece to contemporary America, drawing on Alexis de Tocqueville's notion of a "virus" to analyze the failures of the French Revolution. It aims to unravel the complex relationship between these ideals, proposing a fresh virology that could foster a more optimistic outlook for the future of global society. The work invites readers to reconsider the implications of these enduring themes in social and political thought.
