In Thomas More's hugely influential Utopia, a traveller recounts
his discovery of an island nation in which the inhabitants enjoy
unprecedented social cohesion and justice. The book imagines a
community in which laws, personal relations and professional
ambition are based on reason, in contrast with the tradition-bound
superstitions of Europe, which were, in More's eyes, impediments to
equality and peaceful coexistence.One of the indicators of the
profound cultural and political influence of More's masterpiece is
today's common use of the word "Utopia" - a term he invented. This
extraordinary treatise on the values of rationality and reason -
here presented in a sparkling new translation by Roger Clarke and
accompanied by copious notes and additional texts - questions what
a philosopher can do to enact change in society, and how idealized
visions can inform political practice.
