Helenističke protokomunističke utopističke ideje i filozofska učenja
Hellenistic Proto-Communist Utopian Ideas and Philosophical Doctrines

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores utopian ideas and philosophical doctrines of the Hellenistic historical period, which resulted in the emergence of revolutionary movements in the Hellenic poleis, the Roman Republic and Oriental kingdoms. These movements were based on the advocacy and realisation of social reforms and the expansion of democratic participation of the masses in the administration of states. Utopian ideas leaned on at the time very popular genre of travelogue novel that describes an arrival to the island governed by justice, freedom and equality. The philosophical doctrine that promoted these ideas the most was the older Stoa. However, after the end of the Gracchi revolution and the death of Gaius Blossius, an era of pragmatisation of these doctrines had emerged in order to achieve a certain modus vivendi with the ruling elites, particularly within the Roman Republic which had become the hegemon of the Euro-Mediterranean area.
