Summary/Abstract: We are exposing here a sketch of the notion of Utopia, from its invention by Thomas More to its critique by Freud, passing through Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Social Contract. Our thesis is that there is no place for individual in idealistic speculations on political community. Starting from Metropolis, we are also trying to discover ways to integrate in its projects the individual and the group.
