Description

With an Introduction by Mishtooni Bose.

More's Utopia is a complex, innovative, and insightful contribution to political thought, culminating in the famous description of the Utopians, who live by the principles of natural law, yet are receptive to Christian teachings, holding all goods in common, and considering gold to be useless. Drawing from the ideas of Plato, St. Augustine, and Aristotle, Utopia proved pivotal, giving rise to the genres of utopian and dystopian fiction, whose representatives include Sir Francis Bacon, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell. At once a critique of the social consequences of greed and a reflection on the personal cost of participating in public service, Utopia dramatizes the difficulty of balancing the competing demands of idealism and pragmatism, and continues to call its readers to become participants in an urgent discussion about the better state of a commonwealth.
