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.

I’m thrilled when reading this book, totally devoting to the life of theUtopians, and thinking how wonderful it would be if such civilization exists.
评分The value of this book is to motivate people to find problems in reality. Question book. More身心所在不够自由,书中尤其体现在宗教部分,professor却强行要说并没有monotheism,个人认为More仍然摆脱不掉教会影响而并没有写得过于出格。毕竟是十五六世纪的东西,生活水平达不到一定层次社会思想进程也不可能达到多么高的层次,书的精髓在我看来是促使人们不断对utopia这个虚构世界进行质疑而反思。
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
