The Jesuit Missions of Paraguay and a Cultural History of Utopia (1568-1789)' explores
the religious foundations of the Jesuit missions in Paraguay, and the discussion of
the missionary experience in the public opinion of early modern Europe, from Montaigne
to Diderot. This book presents a wealth of documentation to highlight three key aspects
of this debate: the relationship between civilisation and religion, between religion
and political imagination, and between utopia and history. Girolamo Imbruglia's analysis
of the Jesuits' own narrative reveals that the idea and the practice of mission have
been one of the essential features of the European identity, and of the shaping modern
political thought
