Summary/Abstract: The concept of Paradise is one with ontologic reverberations, and it illustrates a magical place, defined by perfect harmony, a place that has always been present in every human culture and civilization. For example, in the persan culture, the Paradise is imagined as a blessed garden, placed sometimes on earth or in some sort of alternative space/topos, beyond material limits, where people find a special connection with their own spiritual and imaterial essence.
