Tommaso Campanella Libri

La città del sole, pubblicata in appendice alla "Politica" di Campanella, è una breve ma straordinaria opera, un dialogo poetico in cui si delinea il modello ideale di repubblica immaginata dal filosofo, modello che secondo alcuni studiosi è superiore a quello proposto nell'antichità da Platone e nel Rinascimento da Tommaso Moro. Gli abitanti della Città del Sole vivono secondo la pura legge di natura e l'armonia che c'è tra le varie parti della città deve essere la stessa che c'è tra le varie parti del corpo. In appendice viene pubblicata per la prima volta la "Questione quarta sull'ottima repubblica" in cui il filosofo contesta le obiezioni rivoltegli contro la comunione dei beni e delle donne nella sua città ideale.

(Zu dem Werke über die beste Staatsverfassung) Ich schäme mich beinahe, liebster Petrus Ägidius, Dir dieses Büchlein über den Staat von Utopia erst nach fast einem Jahre zuzusenden, das Du zweifellos schon nach sechs Monaten erwartet hast, da du ja wußtest, daß in diesem Werke die Mühe des Erfindens für mich wegfiel und ich auch über die Einteilung nicht nachzudenken, sondern nur das wiederzugeben brauchte, was ich mit Dir zusammen genauso wie Du den Raphael erzählen hörte.

Campanella ve své utopii líčí ideální společnost, kde neexistuje soukromé vlastnictví a kde nejdůležitějšími hodnotami jsou vzdělání, práce a sounáležitost. V čele státu stojí svrchovaný vládce, nejmoudřejší člověk ve státě, jemuž jsou podřízeni Láska, Moc a Moudrost. Praktickyvšechny činnosti ve státě jsou řízeny a kontrolovány politickou mocí, která je výrazně propojená s náboženstvím.
