Utopia
Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_(book)
David Price
"Utopia" by Sir Thomas More is a philosophical work written during the early 16th century. The book explores the concept of an ideal society through the dialogues of Raphael Hythloday, who discusses the social, political, and economic structures of the fictional island of Utopia. The text critiques contemporary societal issues in Europe, addressing themes such as justice, property, and governance while proposing radical reforms. The opening of "Utopia" introduces the context in which the ideas are presented. It begins with a detailed account of Thomas More's life, depicting his upbringing and career, particularly highlighting his relationship with influential figures like Cardinal Morton and Erasmus. The narrative transitions smoothly into Raphael Hythloday’s account after More meets him in Antwerp, where Hythloday reflects on his travels and observations of various nations, leading to a discussion about Utopia's governance and societal norms. The reader is invited to ponder how these reflections on an imaginary society contrast with the political realities of More's time, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of Utopian ideals.
