Resumo
This paper discusses the utopic ideas of Bartolomé de Las Casas and Vasco de Quiroga. The
firs are well known in Brazil for denouncing the violence of the conquest and the
colonization, as well for his fight against indigenous slavery. The second is almost unknown,
even having developed utopic projects that lasted three centuries and still echo today. So,
starting from Las Casas, we introduce Vasco de Quiroga and analyze one of his first texts
written in America, the Letter to the Council, dated from 1531. We tried to show the several
faces of both thinkers, bringing to light the plural aspects of the colonization and their
ambiguities, which are much richer than a monolithic vision that sometimes, imposes itself.
