Resumen
Descripción
Aunque política y ciencia constituyen hoy en día ramas casi antagónicas del conocimiento humano -acaso combinables en ámbitos ficcionales como el cine y la literatura-, la relación entre filosofía política y astronomía es una constante histórica que alcanza especial fuerza en el pensamiento emancipatorio del siglo xix. El presente artículo sitúa en ese marco La eternidad por los astros (1872) y, asimismo, somete a contraste la peculiaridad retórica e ideológica de esta obra, en donde Louis-Auguste Blanqui propone una contigüidad entre orbe celeste y sociedades humanas, basada en su análogo funcionamiento y su común atavismo.
Although politics and science currently represent nearly antagonistic areas of human knowledge –barely combinable in fictional contexts like movies and literature, the relationship between political philosophy and astronomy is a historical constant that becomes especially strong within the emancipatory thinking of the nineteenth century. This paper locates Eternity by the Stars (1872) within that framework and it also subjects to contrast the rhetoric and ideological peculiarity of this work, in which Louis-Auguste Blanqui proposes contiguity between the celestial orb and human societies, based on their similar performance and shared atavism.
