Esotericism • Sociology • Political philosophy • Renaissance
The City of the Sun (Latin: Civitas Solis, published in 1623) is a visionary, esoteric, almost mystical utopia, deeply imbued with the Renaissance spirit, Egyptian astrology, and the Christian hope for a perfect society.
The work analyzes the function of the family as a fundamental social community, its transformations, and the tension between individualism and togetherness within family relationships.
The book presents a Marxist analysis of the digital age, where technology is not a neutral tool, but a process subject to the logic of capital. The author advocates a 21st century democratic socialism: technology for needs, not profit.
