Utopia. Thomas More

Аннотация:

This vintage book contains Thomas Moore’s 1516 novel, “Utopia”. A fantastic work of political philosophy, it centres on a fictional island and its religions, culture, and politics – a model for an ideal political system. This book is highly recommended for fans of utopian fiction, and will be of special utility to students of philosophy. Sir Thomas Moore (1478–1535) was an English philosopher, lawyer, author, and noted Renaissance humanist, who opposed Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn. Many antiquarian texts such as this – particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before – are increasingly hard to come by and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
