Abstract

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.
