What we can learn from a Renaissance nowhere In 1516, a book was
published in Latin with the enigmatic Greek-derived word as its
title. Utopia--which could mean either "good-place" or
"no-place"--gives a traveler's account of a newly discovered island
somewhere in the New World where the inhabitants enjoy a social
order based purely on natural reason and justice. As the traveler
describes the harmony, prosperity, and equality found there, a
dramatic contrast is drawn between the ideal community he portrays
and the poverty, crime, and often frightening political conditions
of 16th century Europe. Written by Sir Thomas More
(1477-1535)--then a rising intellectual star of the Renaissance and
ultimately the advisor and friend of Henry VIII who was executed
for his devoutly Catholic opposition to the king--Utopia is as
complex as its author. In the form of a Platonic dialogue, Utopia
explores topics such as money, property, crime, education,
religious tolerance, euthanasia, and feminism. Claimed as a paean
to communism (Lenin had More's name inscribed on a statue in
Moscow) as often as it has been seen as a defense of traditional
medieval values, Utopia began the lineage of utopian thinkers who
use storytelling to explore new possibilities for human
society--and remains as relevant today as when it was written in
Antwerp 500 years ago. Explore the issues like feminism,
euthanasia, and equality through Renaissance eyes Early communist
tract or a defense of medieval values? You decide. Peer inside the
enigmatic mind of the man who dared stand up to Henry VIII
Appreciate the postmodern possibilities of Platonic dialogue Part
of the bestselling Capstone Classics series edited by Tom
Butler-Bowdon, this edition features an introduction from writer,
economist, and historian Niall Kishtainy.
