Abstract

The “Discovery” of America and the reactions of the Europeans due to the encounter with a never before imagined cultural “Other” gave rise to new philosophical genres: the utopia and the essay. The utopia begins with Thomas More’s homonymous libellus (1516). Utopical are also Peramás’ De administratione guaranitica comparate ad Republicam Platonis commentarius (1791), as well as the political “sacred experiment” narrated in this text -the Guaraní Missions-. On the basis of an intercultural philosophical locus enuntiationis, the autor of this article outlines some considerations on the diverse significance the utopical genre has had in America, and she provides an ana-lytical rereading of this work, with the aim to show the limits of intercultural relations-hips carried out under asymmetrical conditions.
