The work of Michael Lowy "Redemption and Utopia" should be read as a powerful contribution to three thematic axes: Redemption, Messianism, Utopia (social utopia). Therefore, it is necessary to clarify these terms, especially since they emerge from a worldview that presupposes the reader's wandering through the paths of cavalier teaching, the Jewish anarchist and subversive vision of the end of time (Tikkoun), the utopian, and therefore revolutionary, dimension of human expectations and hopes against the tyranny of history, as well as the messianic vision as a term without which human Redemption cannot exist.
Messianism constitutes the strongest tendency of the Jewish spirit in its course towards Redemption and salvation. It is the expression of the anxiety of the Jewish idol for the future establishment of a universality and a totality in which Redemption realizes itself.
