Utopia. E-book. Formato Mobipocket. Thomas More&#39;s Utopia is a masterpiece of Renaissance political philosophy, responsible for introducing the term &#39;utopia&#39; and spawning an entire genre of &#39;utopian&#39; and &#39;dystopian&#39; literature. First published in Latin in 1516, Utopia gave its name to the whole genre of books and movements hypothesizing an ideal society. More envisioned a patriarchal island kingdom that practiced religious tolerance, in which everybody worked, no one has more than his fellows, all goods were community-owned, and violence, bloodshed, and vice nonexistent. Based to some extent on the writings of Plato and other earlier authors, Utopia nevertheless contained much that was original with More.<br />In the nearly 500 years since the book&#39;s publication, there have been many attempts at establishing &quot;Utopias&quot; both in theory and in practice. All of them, however, seem to embody ideas already present in More&#39;s classic treatise: optimistic faith in human nature, emphasis on the environment and proper education, nostalgia for a lost innocence, and other positive elements.<br />Complete edition with interactive table of contents.
