Utopia – a Constant Interrogation Project
Résumé (en anglais)
The article revisits Thomas More's Utopia in an attempt to highlight the fundamental link between reason and the imaginary. This link underlines the consistent definition of any utopian constructs, in fact. Utopias are ambitious, rational projects, centred on the essential aspirations of ancient and modern historical ages and share characteristic elements. This paper follows the interplay of reason and the imaginary revealed in the most important work of Thomas More, a man of genius who lived on the narrow edge dividing Western Europe in two worlds on the eve of the Reformation. The article focuses on the analysis of the main aspects which define his utopia and will explore both the rational utopian project and its symbolic articulations against a literary background.
