The formidable Henry VIII had recently assumed the throne in England, and conflicting ideas about religion were fueling the Reformation throughout Europe. A scathing satire, Utopia was hugely successful and vaulted More to the forefront of the growing humanist movement. The story of Utopia is told by a mysterious sailor named Raphael Hythloday, who travels to the New World with the Italian explorer Vespucci and remains at a fort built at the farthest point reached. From there, he discovers a strange island kingdom named Utopia, a pagan and communist city-state in which language, social customs, dress, architecture, and education are identical throughout the country’s fifty-four cities. The Utopians have eliminated wealth, the nobility, and currency. Labor and goods are distributed equally and property is held in common. And there are no monasteries, alehouses, or academies to tempt a person to withdraw from society. Given More’s satiric leanings and eventual execution, is Utopia simply an attack on Europe’s wickedness? or is it a philosophical tract extolling the ideal way to live? Ultimately, Utopia navigates a course between the desire to create perfection and the pragmatic understanding that perfection, given the fallibility of mankind, is impossible. Wayne A. Rebhorn is Celanese Centennial Professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin. He has written extensively on Renaissance literature in English, Italian, French, Spanish, and Latin, on authors from Boccaccio through More and Shakespeare down to Milton.

评分如果恶是现世的写照,一个没有宗教信仰的人何以在现世活得足够好而不至于郁郁而终?对于无神论者来说,这是个问题。回过头去匍匐在某个神的脚下祈求指引,是倒退;跌入恶的泥潭一蹶不振,是自弃。读完《乌托邦》我似乎找到了答案,没有信仰的灵魂终究不安宁,不相信神,那就选...

评分这个时代最大的悲哀在于科学的进步。 宗教信仰被摧毁了,但是另一种新的信仰却没有被建立。 西欧资本主义萌芽与发展的时期,正是中世纪神学时代与尚武精神的瓦解过程。上帝十诫的传统约束力与道德追求逐渐式微。受最大享受度的驱使,拜金主义取代了上帝之爱。道德堕落层出不...
