Utopia (Burnet translation)
'Utopia (Burnet translation)' Summary
Sir Thomas More's *Utopia* is a 16th-century philosophical dialogue that explores the concept of an ideal society. Written in 1516, the book follows the fictional travels of Raphael Hythloday, a traveler who has visited the island of Utopia, a society governed by communal ownership, egalitarianism, and rational principles. The book satirizes the political and social problems of More's own time in England, contrasting them with the utopian ideals of the island of Utopia. The work explores themes of social justice, labor, religion, and the nature of government. Although fictional, Utopia presents a potent critique of existing social structures, advocating for a more just and equitable world.Book Details
