Este artigo realizou um estudo acerca do confronto entre liberdade e igualdade nas obras Utopia, de Thomas More, e A Cidade do Sol, de Tommaso Campanella. Iniciou-se pela narrativa das principais ideias contidas em cada um dos livros, em especial aquelas relacionadas à vida social e política dos seus cidadãos. Abordaram-se, na sequência, os pontos de aproximação e distinção entre as obras, para, em seguida, analisar as críticas que lhes são apresentadas, em face da excessiva intervenção do Estado na vida privada. Prosseguiu-se com a análise dos conceitos de totalitarismo, igualitarismo e liberdade, a fim de investigar os espaços de conflitos e divergências, em especial quanto à delimitação das esferas públicas e privadas. Assim, em face do atual estágio da ciência e, ainda, da grande relevância das obras na seara da filosofia política, concluiu-se que há a necessidade de se promover a constante salvaguarda dos aspectos relativos à vida e liberdade individual, em homenagem à promoção do ser humano.

Moyen Age

Lorsqu'il était emprisonné à la Tour de Londres, Thomas More a écrit une méditation détaillée du récit que font les Écritures de la passion du Christ au jardin de Gethsémani, dans le but de se préparer à son prochain martyr et de témoigner de cette expérience. Son De Tristitia Christi, écrit dans le contexte de contraintes morales et physiques, constitue une étude à caractère dévotionnel qui fournit à son auteur, et aux victimes de persécutions, un parcours transformant l'imitatio Christi du Moyen Âge tardif en une union quasi-mystique avec le Christ souffrant. Malgré que l'ouvrage de More repose sur une tradition populaire de méditation des Évangiles et de la vie du Christ, le traitement que fait More d'un seul épisode des Évangiles associe de manière originale la pratique de la lectio divina et de l'exégèse humaniste de la Renaissance.

Thomas More’s Utopia and the subsequent literary creations that belong to the same literary genre represent the affirmation of human initiative and its exclusive responsibility for the laws that rule the destiny of the City. This political autarchy points at an organisation of the society, so zealous of autonomy, that it seems to exclude from itself any divinity or religion. This is not, however, what we see in most of the utopic narratives, starting with the one by More that deals extensively with the religious issue. What statute and significance does religion have in the utopias? The answer can be attempted at three principal levels, which correspond to the same amount of ways of presence and articulation of the religious element in the described societies. There is, firstly, the consecration of Christianism as supreme religion in More’s Utopia. However, this consecration does not prevent the dimension of social criticism, characteristic of the utopic imagination, from applying also to the religious phenomenon. We have, then, the Christian reference to narratives in which the Christianism of origins appears as inspiration and model. Let us remember, for example, the «New Christianism» by Saint-Simon. Lastly, in the last two centuries, the horizon of Christianism tends to dissipate itself in narratives that advocate the implantation of a new social ethics. In this communication, we deal solely with the «Utopias of the Renaissance», the utopias of Thomas More, Tommaso Campanella and Francis Bacon.

Cette Question

Résumé Comment représenter des corps et un paysage utopiques ? Thomas More répond à cette question en proposant un paysage total, résultat du travail de l’homme sur la nature, objet chorographique par excellence, puisque l’auteur y privilégie lîle, la ville et le jardin. Loin de se réifier, le paysage utopique garde une certaine opacité par son ambivalence entre réalité et imaginaire, par les jeux de points de vue parfois contradictoires, aussi présents dans le texte et ses liminaires que dans les gravures.

El fin último de las utopías es el ideario reflexivo de un mundo mejor; más solidario y menos egoísta. Es la búsqueda incesante de un orden social abierto a la simpatía moral, un lugar donde no prevalece la explotación del hombre por el hombre. El objetivo del presente ensayo de investigación es mostrar cuál es la relación y cuáles son los aportes sociales que subyacen en los planteamientos éticos de Thomas More, Tommaso Campanella, Paul Lafargue, Aldous Huxley y Yuval Noah Harari, en el debate contemporáneo de las administraciones de ciudad. Siguiendo un análisis cronológico, lógico-deductivo, el ensayo concluye que no hay una utopía que sea utópica. Existen nuevos esfuerzos sociales, tal vez utópicos pero no imposibles, que buscan construir una ética pública en el diseño de ciudades del aprendizaje, del conocimiento y de la innovación.

Final Text

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The importance of cities becomes ever greater not only for the modification of the landscape, but also for the distribution of social classes. Poets, philosophers and artists have imagined ideal cities that could satisfy the need for a good quality of life for citizens.</p><p> Since the most ancient civilizations poets and philosophers have imagined ideal cities, with road plots corresponding to the various social classes. In the final text I will describe some examples of ideal cities presented by Homer, especially in the description of the shield of Achilles, from Plato in the description of his Atlantis, etc.</p><p> Atlantis (Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος, "island of Atlas") is a fictional island mentioned in Plato's works <i>Timaeus</i> and <i>Critias</i>, where Plato represents the ideal state imagined in <i>The Republic</i>.</p><p> The city depicted in the Homeric shield of Achilles, as an ideal form, centred and circular, competes with the other city scheme based on an orthogonal plan and linear structures. The form of the Homeric city has exerted a paradigmatic function for other cities in Greece and Rome.</p><p> Among the best known images of ideal cities I will consider the <i>Città del Sole</i> (<i>City of the Sun</i>) by Tommaso Campanella and Utopia by Thomas More.</p><p> There are many books of collection of paintings of cities (G Braun and F Hogenberg, 1966).The most complete and interesting is that of Caspar van Wittel or Gaspar van Wittel (1652 or 1653, Amersfoort &amp;ndash; September 13, 1736, Rome). He was a Dutch painter who played a remarkable role in the development of the <i>veduta</i>. He is credited with turning city topography into a painterly specialism in Italian art (G Briganti, 1996).</p><p> A rich collection of maps of Rome in the books by Amato Pietro Frutaz.</p><p> The city "liquid dimension" represents the complexities and contradictions of civic communities increasingly characterized by fragmentation and social unease.</p>
