This article appeared in Spanish in the July 1992 edition of Estudios Ecumenicos.

Utopian Society Perfect Society
1,063 wordsIn my opinion, it is virtually impossible to design a utopian society. Although the principles you base your society may have the potential, if the rest of life in that society is modified enough so that all those in the society introduced to this idea or principle will take it as reality and apply it to their everyday life, thus allowing them to fit the mold of the perfect person in the perfect society; then how can anyone consider complete equality between all people, truly perfection. It is a...

Civil Disobedience Real World
512 wordsHaving read both Crito and Civil Disobedience there are several conspicuous similarities as well as notable differences. Both of these documents deal with the government and how the people should view it. However, in Crito, Socrates is more devoted to the government and would uphold its decisions even if it cost him his life. Thoreau on the other hand believes that the government is not always right and it is up to the people to criticize it so that it can be improved. Both of these essays were ...

Plato And Bellamy Utopias The Root Of Dischord
1,256 wordsBoth Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward and Plato's Republic portray what each author believes to be the perfect society in which to live. They talk about both the workings of and ways to possibly achieve the perfect government. A Utopia is what we call these ideologically inventions. Traditionally, a Utopia is more of an ideological goal than any kind of practical plan. Plato and Bellamy however, from what I have heard believed their visions to be very achievable. Attempting to create an image o...

Fahrenheit 451 And 1984 The Fear Of Utopia
1,252 wordsSeveral conflicting frames of mind have played defining roles in shaping humanity throughout the twentieth century. Philosophical optimism of a bright future held by humanity in general was taken advantage of by the promise of a better life through sacrifice of individuality to the state. In the books Brave New World, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451 clear opposition to these subtle entrapment's was voiced in similarly convincing ways. They first all established, to varying degrees of balance, the atmos...

If private properties were eliminated and all were made equal citizens, competition would cease as there would be no scope for [inequalities and injustices] in such a society (80). If all persons were set equal than corrupt rulers would also be an improbability, for one cannot subvert or overpower one who is on equal footing with oneself. He contended that human nature is itself good and should be a unifying force ...

Anti Social Social Ills
1,049 wordsFreud and Marx it can be argued were both, as individuals, dissatisfied with their societies. Marx more plainly than Freud, but Freud can also be seen as discontent in certain aspects such as his cynical view of human nature. Each were great thinkers and philosophers, but both seemed unhappy. Perhaps the social ills and trouble each perceived in the world about them were only the reflections of what each of the thinkers held within themselves. Each person observes the same world, but each of us ...
