Abstract:Utopia has often been defined as an imaginary, this-worldly, rational ideal distinct from older, mythic, prepolitical forms of social ideality such as Paradise or the Golden Age. Milton’s Paradise Lost complicates this opposition and departs from exegetical tradition, introducing temporality, materiality, and social organization into the Genesis story. The chaotic vitality of nature in Milton’s paradise makes Adam and Eve’s labor meaningful and necessary, and the preservation of the Edenic state is predicated upon the control of excess and a rational division of work and play. Milton’s paradise is not, therefore, simply a state of nature, a presocial or prepolitical condition; it is the seed-form of a larger social order that already contains within itself the problem of the metabolism of nature and society. If paradise and utopia form an opposition, this opposition is internal to Paradise Lost.

分工：约翰·米尔顿失乐园中的工作，自然和乌托邦冲动

摘要：乌托邦通常被定义为一种虚构的，超现实的，理性的理想，与诸如天堂或黄金时代之类的社会理想的较旧的，神话的，前政治形式不同。弥尔顿的《失乐园》使这种对立变得复杂，并脱离了训ege传统，在《创世纪》的故事中引入了时间性，物质性和社会组织。弥尔顿天堂中自然的混乱生命力使亚当和夏娃的工作变得有意义和必要，而维持伊甸园国家的状态则取决于对多余物的控制以及对工作和娱乐的合理划分。因此，弥尔顿的天堂不仅仅是自然状态，社会前或政治前的状况；它是更大的社会秩序的种子形式，本身已经包含了自然与社会的新陈代谢问题。
