La ciudad realizable de Platón: el uso racional de las creencias et la imaginación en la política

Abstract

Las ciudades perfectas de Platón en la República y las Leyes han sido a menudo criticadas como utopías, es decir, como ciudades inalcanzables. Mi argumento es que dicha “lectura utópica” está equivocada. Las mejores ciudades de Platón no pueden comprenderse como utopías, ni en el sentido literario de la palabra ni como proyectos teóricos de reformación política; deben verse como paradigmas de ciudades realizables. En términos generales, la conclusión de mi argumento es que según Platón, la imaginación y las creencias son elementos constituyentes para una racionalidad política acertada.

Plato’s perfect cities in the Republic and the Laws have often been criticized as utopias, that is, as unachievable cities. It is my argument that such a “utopian reading” is wrong. Plato’s best cities cannot be understood as utopias either in the literary meaning of the word or in the sense of theoretical projects of political reform. They must be seen as paradigms of feasible cities. To a broader extent, the conclusion of my argument is that, according to Plato, imagination and belief are constituent elements of a sound political rationality.
