Utopia -- Thomas More

In Utopia, Thomas More gives us a traveller's account of a newly-discovered island where the inhabitants enjoy a social order based on natural reason and justice, and human fulfilment is open to all. As the traveller describes the island, a bitter contrast is drawn between this rational society and the practices of Europe. How can the philosopher reform his society? In his discussion, More takes up a question first raised by Plato and which is still a challenge in the contemporary world. In the history of political thought few works have been more influential than Utopia, and few more misunderstood.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Thomas More<br><b>Publisher:</b> Simon & Brown<br><b>Published:</b> 08/16/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 100<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.24d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781936041176<p></p>
