Utopia
Book • 1901
Written in 1516, 'Utopia' by Sir Thomas More is a seminal work of fiction that presents an ideal society on a fictional island.
The book is divided into two parts: the first critiques the social and economic issues of early 16th-century England, while the second introduces the Utopian society as a potential solution.
Utopia is characterized by communal property, no class distinctions or poverty, little crime, religious freedom, and a strict egalitarian system.
More uses this imaginary society to highlight the flaws of European politics and society of his time, advocating for a more just and equal world.
The work is notable for its influence on later socialist and communist thought and continues to be a subject of discussion in political theory and philosophy[1][3][4].
