The urban phenomenon is analized from the beginnings of civilization and its founding phenomena: the technical ability (téxne) and its power over nature; politics and its power to organize social life and the related settlement s territory; moral reflectiveness and its power over nature implied in the human biological body. In these three situations, what is at stake is man´s power over nature. Such power exerts itself , in the first one, by means of the walled structures whose building excludes from the surrounding environment one´s inhabited site. In the second case, by its interaction with the nature of the Other with which man is constrained to coexist. In the third situation, by man´s action over what constitutes himself. In the first chapter, with Bataille, we discuss the refusal of the state of nature; with Nietzsche, power; with Heidegger and Foucault, technics and technopolitics; with La Boétie, the Name of the One and Voluntary Servitude. In the second chapter, with Agamben, symmetrical relation between sovereign power and naked life. In the third chapter, with Freud, the established libidinal connection between the masses and the tyrant. In the fourth chapter, with Nietzsche and Freud, the moral conscience formation and unconscious guilt feelings implications on civilization s early stages. With Le Corbusier, Bauman and Davis, the results of this interaction in the forms of the city and in urban life´s aesthetical and political praxis. The conclusion attempts to demonstrate how the gang (bando) relationship, claimed by Agamben as the original political relation, reflects itself on the political state of today´s societies.
