| Abstract | |
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine The City of the Sun, a utopian text written in 1602, by Tommaso Campanella, which considers the Philosophy of Law. The laws of the city lie in an eternal law, which expresses the divine wisdom. A supreme sovereign, Metaphysician or Hoh, holds laic and ecclesiastical powers. He is at the same time a governor, a scientist and a priest. The legal system guiding principles identification was developed based on the solar criminal justice system, on the inhabitants habits and customs, on the system and form of government, on the notions of State and individual, on the free will versus authority, on the working principle and property. The dissertation was divided in three parts. The first chapter is about Campanella's life. The second one examines The City of the Sun and the utopian literary genre. The third chapter discusses the juridical philosophy in Campanella's utopia. An appendix is devoted to notions of natural law and positive law from Greek thought until the Renaissance (AU) | |
