Frances Wright e la centralità dell'idea di eguaglianza nella Repubblica americana
650-671 p.
Frances Wright, a Scottish thinker, crossed the Ocean in 1818 to visit the U.S.A., a country that she believed to be an Utopia. Starting from the analysis of her first important book, Views of society and manners in America; in a series of letters from that country to a friend in England, during the years 1818, 1819, and 1820 (the work that made her known to some influential European intellectuals), I will try to highlight the role that the principle of equality had in the American republic, according to Wright, and why she considered it fundamental to give birth to a democratic republic. [Publisher's text].
