In Utopia, Thomas More Gives Us A Traveller's 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, Raphael, Describes The Island To More, A Bitter Contrast Is Drawn Between This Rational Society And The Custom-driven Practices Of Europe. So How Can The Philosopher Try To Reform His Society? In His Fictional 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.
