A Felicidade, Razão da Cidade: Francesco Patrizi da Cherso

Abstract

In this article we seek to make known the work La Città felice by Francesco Patrizi da Cherso, in what are its fundamental lines. As this author is less known in contemporary times, the truth is that he played an important role in the development of the philosophy of nature. The work under consideration, on the other hand, develops a kind of utopia as a political analysis in the style of Aristotle. Taking inspiration from Plato, Patrizi engendered a Neoplatonic theory in an Aristotelian form.
