Resumo: This article realizes a bibliographical review looking to analyze the meaning of Thomas More 's Utopia, based on works that methodologically value the "intellectual context" of a work. Taking a critical view of the liberal readings of Utopia, the article seeks to highlight the advances of what we are designating as republican readings in their effort to embed More's work in the debates of his time. We conclude that Utopia's great contribution to thinking about political challenges, including in the contemporary world, is not in what it would foreshadow of a possible totalitarian regime, as the liberal reading would affirm, but in the need to reflect on the constitution of a republic of free men under the conditions of political regimes threatened by economic power.

Al adoptar un punto de vista crítico en relación a las lecturas liberales de la Utopía, el artículo busca destacar los avances de lo que estamos designando como lecturas republicanas, en su esfuerzo por insertar la obra de More en los debates de su tiempo. Concluimos que la gran contribución de Utopía para pensar los desafíos políticos, incluso en el mundo contemporáneo, no está en lo que ella prefiguraría de un posible régimen totalitario, como afirmaría la lectura liberal, sino en la necesidad de reflexionar sobre la constitución de una república de hombres libres en las condiciones de regímenes políticos amenazados por el poder económico.Este artigo realiza uma revisão bibliográfica procurando analisar o significado da obra Utopia, de Thomas More, com base nos trabalhos que metodologicamente valorizam o “contexto intelectual” de uma obra.
