Utopia

by Thomas More, Clarence H. Miller
Utopia
Utopia

Visionary renaissance exploration of ideal society.

"Utopia" by Thomas More is like a time capsule that offers a window into Renaissance-era thoughts on what makes a society perfect. It's a stimulating read that invites you to compare More's vision with the reality of our modern world. If you enjoy delving into philosophical discussions and exploring the 'what-ifs' of societal structures, this book could be a fascinating journey for you.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

First published in 1516, Saint Thomas More's Utopia is one of the most important works of European humanism. Through the voice of the mysterious traveler Raphael Hythloday, More describes a pagan, communist city-state governed by reason. Addressing such issues as religious pluralism, women's rights, state-sponsored education, colonialism, and justified warfare, Utopia seems remarkably contemporary nearly five centuries after it was written, and it remains a foundational text in philosophy and political theory. Preeminent More scholar Clarence H. Miller does justice to the full range of More's rhetoric in this new translation. Professor Miller includes a helpful introduction that outlines some of the important problems and issues that Utopia raises, and also provides informative commentary to assist the reader throughout this challenging and rewarding exploration of the meaning of political community.
