Publisher's Synopsis
More's Utopia is a classic work of political philosophy written by Sir Thomas More, a prominent English statesman and philosopher of the Renaissance era. The book is presented in the form of a dialogue between More and a fictional character named Raphael Hythloday, who describes his travels to an island called Utopia, where he encounters a society that is based on principles of communal ownership, social equality, and religious tolerance.In this English translation by Raphe Robynson, readers can explore More's vision of a perfect society and his critique of the political and social structures of his own time. The translation is accompanied by a biographical sketch of More's life, written by his son-in-law William Roper, which provides context for More's work and illuminates his personal beliefs and values.Overall, More's Utopia is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to inspire discussions about the nature of government, society, and human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
