In some of Patočka's writings, this possibility of a paradise on Earth also appears described as a "new love" or "universal love". Unlike the myths of a time before the Fall, the possibility of an earthly paradise would be true to the human condition of finitude, understanding, and freedom. However, what is - or is there - the possibility of heaven on Earth? What are the differences between the original paradise and the promise of this one? What is "love" , or are there different loves?
