La città del sole

Di Tommaso Campanella

Nell'età della Controriforma, mentre si stabilizzava la dominazione congiunta dell'Impero di Spagna e dell'Inquisizione, Campanella volle "debellare tre mali estremi: tirannide, sofismi, ipocrisia". Ispirato da Tommaso Moro e Platone, nella Città del Sole Campanella immagina una repubblica "naturale", condotta da un re-sacerdote e da tre magistrati. Qui si pratica una religione "naturale" e non si crede all'esistenza dell'inferno o alle punizioni divine. Uno Stato dove ogni proprietà (e donna) è messa in comune e in cui al lavoro sono destinate quattro ore al giorno. La nascita dei figli è guidata da necessità astrologiche (come in Platone) e la loro educazione è improntata a principi basati sulla valorizzazione dell'esperienza, lasciando da parte i libri: in sostanza un'anticipazione della moderna pedagogia. Un'opera visionaria, che ispirerà in modo determinante il pensiero utopistico dei secoli successivi.

Tommaso Campanella

Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639) was an Italian philosopher, poet, astrologer, and Dominican friar. Born Giovanni Domenico Campanella in Calabria, he was the son of a cobbler. At fourteen, he entered the Dominican Order and took the name Tommaso after Thomas Aquinas. His early studies in theology and philosophy led him to the empiricism of Bernardino Telesio, a prominent Italian scientist of the sixteenth century. By 1590, Campanella was studying astrology in Naples, where he gained a reputation for heterodoxy and faced persecution during the Roman Inquisition. Arrested in Padua in 1594, he spent several years in confinement at a Roman convent before earning his freedom and returning to his native Calabria. In 1599, he was imprisoned and tortured for his role in a conspiracy against Spanish rule in the town of Stilo. Campanella eventually confessed and was incarcerated in Naples for twenty-seven years, during which time he composed such works as The Monarchy in Spain (1600), Political Aphorisms (1601), and The City of the Sun (1602). This last title, originally written in Italian and later translated into Latin by the author, is considered an important example of utopian fiction in which Campanella describes the traditions and organization of an egalitarian society. Released from prison in 1626, he fled to France in 1634 when one of his followers was implicated in a new Calabrian conspiracy. His final years were spent in Paris, where he earned the support of King Louis XIII and was protected by Cardinal Richelieu.
