Reseña: It remains astonishingly radical ... one of Utopias most striking aspects is its contemporaniety Terry Eagleton In Utopia Thomas More gives us a travellers account of a newly-discovered island where the inhabitants enjoy a social order based on natural reason and justice and human fulfilment is open to all. As the traveller describes the island a bitter contrast is drawn between this rational society and the practices of Europe. How can the philosopher reform his society? In his discussion More takes up a question first raised by Plato and which is still a challenge in the contemporary world. In the history of political thought few works have been more influential than Utopia and few more misunderstood. Translated and introduced by Dominic Baker-Smith
