"Utopia has a strong claim to be the most misunderstood book ever written: its flame has been hijacked by countless idealistic schemes having little in common with More's own assessment of social possibilities. For although it contributes to a line of argument that can be traced from Plato to Marx, Utopia is first and foremost a literary work that appeals to the imagination and seeks to question us rather than to proffer answers." "This study prepares the reader for these challenges, placing the work in the context of early sixteenth-century Europe and the intellectual preoccupations of More's own humanist circle, and clarifying those sources in classical and Christian political thought that provoked his writing." "Utopia is presented as a reflection on political idealism, one that has lost none of its relevance in an age that has witnessed the collapse of Marxist aspirations to social control. Dominic Baker-Smith also surveys the varied critical reception accorded to Utopia over the last four centuries, providing a look at Utopia's role in cultural history."--Jacket

Het is hoog tijd dat we op zoek gaan naar alternatieven voor de desastreuze 'utopie van de vrije markt'. Daarbij kan Utopia van Thomas More ons goede diensten bewijzen, maar we moeten dat 'oerboek' uit 1516 dan wel met nieuwe ogen bekijken. Door de eeuwen heen is de tekst opgevat als een serieuze blauwdruk van een ideale samenleving, maar dat gaat geheel tegen More's bedoeling in. More schreef Utopia nu juist - in het verlengde van Erasmus' Lof der zotheid - als een boek vol spot, maatschappijkritiek, ironie en zotternij. Intussen bevat Utopia wel degelijk allerlei bruikbare suggesties voor verbetering van wantoestanden in de rechtspraak, van scheefgegroeide machtsstructuren en onrechtvaardige economische verhoudingen. Als het ons lukt om juist die suggesties ernstig op te vatten, dan kunnen we daar nu nog ons voordeel mee doen. Zo kan Utopia, een boek van 500 jaar oud, ons helpen om in het hier en nu nieuwe inspirerende idealen te formuleren.

This year marks the five-hundredth anniversary of Thomas More's widely influential book Utopia, and this volume brings together a number of scholars to consider the book, its long afterlife, and specifically its effects on political activists over the centuries. In addition to thorough studies of Utopia itself, and appraisals of More's relationship with Erasmus, the book presents detailed studies of the effect of Utopia on early modern England and the Low Countries, as well as philosophical reflections on ideology and the utopian mind, and much more.

Colin Starnes radical interpretation of the long-recognized affinity of Thomas More's Utopia and Plato's Republic confirms the intrinsic links between the two works. Through commentary on More's own introduction to Book I, the author shows the Republic is everywhere present as the model of the ""best commonwealth,"" which More must first discredit as the root cause of the dreadful evils in the collapsing political situation of sixteenth-century Europe.

What does it mean to be a free citizen in times of war and tyranny? What kind of education is needed to be a 'first' or leading citizen in a strife-filled country? And what does it mean to be free when freedom is forcibly opposed? These concerns pervade Thomas More's earliest writings, writings mostly unknown, including his 280 poems, declamation on tyrannicide, coronation ode for Henry VIII and his life of Pico della Mirandola, all written before Richard III and Utopia. This book analyzes those writings, guided especially by these questions: Faced with generations of civil war, what did young More see as the causes of that strife? What did he see as possible solutions? Why did More spend fourteen years after law school learning Greek and immersed in classical studies? Why do his early works use vocabulary devised by Cicero at the end of the Roman Republic?
