Overview
Utopia was written by English statesman and philosopher Thomas More and published in 1516
. It is a work in which More speculates about an idealized society on an island called Utopia.The society depicted in Utopia can be thought of as the culmination of rational thought or Humanist beliefs, as an alternative to feudalism, as a statement in favor of communal society, or as an effort to promote reform according to Christian values. However, these different critical approaches are not mutually exclusive, and the author was certainly aware of the complexity of meanings embedded in his book.
