The Politics of Thomas More's "Utopia"

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Literature - Comparative Literature, grade: 5.50, Cardiff Metropolitan University, language: English, abstract: The question posed in this essay concerns the politics in the book of Thomas More's Utopia. The book is a precursor of the utopian literary genre that describes in detail ideal societies and perfectly arranged cities. Although utopianism is a typical Renaissance movement, which combines classical concepts of ideal societies of Plato and Aristotle with Romanesque rhetorical finesse (Cicero, Kvintiliyan), it continues to develop in the age of the Enlightenment as well. Moreover, the author criticizes the social mores of his time. To today's system he opposes the island "Utopia" where there is no private property. Earth and all means of production belong to the state, which is a federation of cities. All people are busy with work. From physical labor are exempt only those persons possessing exceptional mental ability and dealing with scientific work. Thus, the essay has a lot to say and a lot to deal with - from politics to pure utopia.
