More than Human: Utopias of the 16th-19th Centuries. Key Principles of Utopian Thought

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article provides an overview of the history of utopian thought and the conception of ideal states by individual authors, with an emphasis on Thomas More, who gave the genre its name. The article discusses in detail Moore&apos;s political thought in relation to other idealists and humanists such as Erasmus of Rotterdam. In studying utopian thought, a live question is whether utopia arose as a constitutive element of the historical process by which modernity as an epoch separated itself from the Middle Ages, or whether it had its origins in medieval ideas of a biblical paradise. The resolution of this question depends on definitions: first, on what we understand by the terms &quot;medieval&quot; and &quot;modern&quot;, and then also on what we understand bythe term &quot;utopia&quot;. If utopia includes the knowledge that it is something unreal, i.e. utopian, then the history of utopias does indeed begin with Thomas More and his writings. Campanella&apos;s social utopia, The City of the Sun, in turn mixes a critique of feudalism with a critique of capitalism. At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, we speak of the so-called social utopians who, on the basis of certain experiences, tried to breathe life into utopian elements, and many of these ideas have found application in modern times.
