Abstract

Political utopia is the design of the best government, of the ideal society. The article aims at a double opening: on the one hand, it offers a selection of the thinkers from Ancient Greece who built ideal societies. On the other hand, as it is well known that utopias are the product of the imaginary, it aims to synthesize how this way of thinking manifested itself in Ancient Greece. In this sense, the main constructions of utopia will be presented through the prism of these thinkers, but with emphasis on Plato's conception of the ideal state. They didn’t want chaos in the city, they wanted to build new cities, more solid, better protected and with stability. Therefore, this article also includes political, social and economic reflections.
