Abstract

The book "Hope on the Threshold: An Anthropological Analysis of the Three Pilgrimages of Santiago de Compostela, Hajj and Arbaeen" by Mohammad Nasravi (1399) is one of the few works that tried to propose the idea of utopia and its related concepts and meanings, emphasizing the views of thinkers such as Weber, Foucault, and most of all, Ernst Bloch, and analyzed the three pilgrimages mentioned in the title of the book with anthropological studies, from a utopian point of view. The idea of utopia, as Bloch emphasizes, is based on the concept of Not-yet being, which seeks to contrast the realm of utopia "infinity" with the present "infinite" universe. Mr. Nasravi has investigated this concept with the meaning of the mentioned pilgrimages and in the analysis of Arbaeen, which is equivalent to Imam Masoom. In this article, with the comparative method, after presenting formal criticisms, in terms of content in the criticism of Bloch's idea, relying on the transcendent philosophy and its well-known principles such as the authenticity of existence, gradation of existence, and substantial movement, we deal with the idea that the infinite realm is not against reality and existence, but it’s the same. In conclusion, the risks of the monopoly of existence to the sensory-empirical realm for considering pilgrimage as a utopian state are pointed out, which leads to the neglect of its many aspects, including morality, cognition and knowledge, sharing existence and reality, regularity, and so on.
