Resumo: | Thomas More’s work called Utopia, published in 1516, became a paradigm for the formulations of utopian social projects. In that work More retook a controversial theme to Western political philosophy and religiosity: the idea of a just society. He examined the possibilities of constructing this kind of society and its fundamentals. The theme of property and how this concept is understood in that work is the special focus of in this text. Utopia presents a kind of collectivism in the manner of Plato’s Republic. The collectivism of the Utopia island was characterized by the criticism of the nascent form of capitalist property and because of this it became a classic of political philosophy, but the feasibility of this collectivism and its fundamentals remain questionable. Utopia contains some problems such as slavery, which demonstrates that despite being a criticism of the society of that time it keeps a close relationship with its way of thinking. Would Utopia just be a counterexample of that society and More just another reactionary? |

Would Utopia just be a counterexample of that society and More just another reactionary?A obra de Thomas More chamada Utopia, publicada em 1516, além de cunhar a expressão, foi mais à frente e se transformou num paradigma das formulações de projetos sociais chamados utópicos. More, nessa obra, retoma um tema caro à filosofia política e à religiosidade ocidentais que é a idéia de uma sociedade justa. Ele retomou, a seu modo, essa questão, perguntando-se sobre as possibilidades de se construir uma sociedade justa e em que bases. O texto aqui apresentado privilegia a discussão sobre o tema da propriedade e como este conceito é entendido na obra em questão. A Utopia apresenta uma espécie de coletivismo, à moda de Platão em A República, de quem More recebeu decisiva influência. O coletivismo da ilha de Utopia caracteriza-se pela crítica à então nascente forma da propriedade capitalista e por essa razão transformou-se num clássico da filosofia política, mas pode-se perguntar se seria possível tal coletivismo e em que ele consistiria. A sua obra, porém, não é isenta de problemas e o primeiro deles é a existência de escravidão. Isso demonstra que, mesmo sendo uma crítica à sociedade de seu tempo, a Utopia guarda ainda estreita relação com o modo de pensar do período em que foi escrita. Seria a Utopia apenas um contra-exemplo de sociedade? Seria More apenas um reacionário?Universidade Estadual De Maringá2008-07-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHumanSocSci/article/view/416810.4025/actascihumansoc.v22i0.4168Acta Scientiarum.
