The discussion being developed in the following text concerns the conceptual function acquired by the notion of Antiquity in the elaboration of the ideal of a city (cité), in Rousseau's political thinking. The hypothesis to be demonstrated is that the myth of Lacedaemon transmutes into a mechanism of concept generation that sustains the formulation of his ideal of political body, crystallized into the concept of cité. We aim to point in which way this mythical notion is inserted in young Rousseau's world view and, afterwards, in the scope of his political thinking, in order to elucidate the mechanisms through which it interferes in the conceptual elaboration of the rousseaunian political ideal.
