Předmoderní utopické myšlení o státu a právu – mohou být utopičtí myslitelé od starověku do konce 18. století měřítkem kvality existujícího právního řádu?
The author deals with the issue of pre-modern utopian thinking about the state and law in his article. In connection with this, we are first introduced to the basic contours of Plato’s view of these questions, because his work inspires the following thinkers. Among them, the author emphasizes St. Augustine, as well as, of course, St. Thomas More and Tommaso Campanella. Finally, attention is also paid to the thinkers of the French enlightenment, among who Etienne-Gabriel Morelly and Gabriel Bonnot de Mably stand out. In general, the author notes that the works of these writers emphasize the totalitarian character of their ideal state in which private property is banned and family law is strictly regulated. Nevertheless, the author believes that partial aspects of their thinking may be beneficial to development of modern law.
