Politics between Ideas and Forms. Evolution of Utopian Paradigms

Five hundred years after the publication of the treatise “Utopia” by Thomas More (1516), the volume collects a series of contributions, produced by various scholars from the international landscape featuring different scientific profiles, about the dialectics between utopian subject theorizations and forms of the narration for utopia. From the different essays still does emerge the extraordinary vitality of a political thought tradition that has traversed the centuries, becoming a universal paradigm. The recurring figure, in whichever approach to utopia, consists in the acknowledgement of is extraordinary critical depth, which constitutes the really foundational and productive element of any utopian system, from Plato to the contemporary age.
