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 traveller 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. Precminent 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.

It is the work of a scholarly Englishman who enjoys high social status attacks the chief social evils on the policy of Henry VIII. I figure that ‘Utopia’ is not a practical but an ideological scheme. More aims at creating a political metaphor which using the ideas in Graeco-Roman classics(especially Plato’s the Republic) as a critical weapon.
评分unlike "the law" by Frédéric Bastiat, which seems wise but brutal and biased, Utopia is written prudently: 1) it is written as a third person tells the story, so the author didn't intend to provoke or impose: 2) the author has reserved himself to take the Utopian institution as perfect solution, rather he explicitly say, it is merely referable.

评分The Utopia is nevertheless an original work. Its originality lies in two controversial features: its hedonism and its communism. Pleasure, its highest form being intellectual pursuits, consciousness of a virtuous soul, and union with God in heaven, is the end and goal of the Utopian state, which is supposed to be of one mind, to think same thoughts
