Sinopsis

'Utopia,' by Sir Thomas More, is a cornerstone of utopian literature and political philosophy. This edition also includes Francis Bacon?s 'The New Atlantis.' In 'Utopia', More presents a fictional island society with seemingly perfect social, political, and economic systems, offering a profound commentary on the shortcomings of European societies of his time. This edition is enriched by a preliminary discourse containing an analysis of Plato?s Republic and extensive notes by J.A. St. John, providing valuable context and insights into the philosophical underpinnings of More?s work. More?s work explores themes of governance, justice, and the common good, inviting readers to consider alternative ways of organizing society. Bacon?s 'The New Atlantis' complements More?s work by envisioning a utopian society dedicated to scientific advancement and knowledge. Together, these texts offer a fascinating glimpse into the ideals and aspirations of the Renaissance, remaining relevant and thought-provoking for contemporary readers interested in political thought and social reform.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
