Paradise
Julian Marias, a Spanish philosopher proves to be no exception to the numerous writers attempting to describe California's effect on both visitors and residents alike almost predictably invoking the idea of paradise in their evaluation. He confirms California as a paradise while at the same time exploring the reflective meaning of paradise itself in human consciousness. Marias considers California to be a vision of paradise in respect to his diverse interpretations of the word paradise. In other words, Marias attempts to generate a critical meditation allowed the word paradise to have various connotation from the Garden of Eden to Paradise Lost, which help to strengthen his reasons for California to be paradise.

During the time that this analysis acts as an example of how Marias' theory of knowledge seems to manifest paradise as limitless, however he furthers his critical meditation to have paradise serving as a mere fantasy. then that is unveiling another of Marias' critical approaches to how California can be seen as Paradise Lost. Moreover, since "where there is no Paradise at all is in the old town because there the city is decaying under the sordidness that crept over it; it has 'fallen away,'" then once more Marias' critical examination implements a comparison between Paradise and Paradise Lost to further iterate his analysis of Paradise.
