The formidable Henry VIII had recently assumed the throne in England, and conflicting ideas about religion were fueling the Reformation throughout Europe. A scathing satire, Utopia was hugely successful and vaulted More to the forefront of the growing humanist movement. The story of Utopia is told by a mysterious sailor named Raphael Hythloday, who travels to the New World with the Italian explorer Vespucci and remains at a fort built at the farthest point reached. From there, he discovers a strange island kingdom named Utopia, a pagan and communist city-state in which language, social customs, dress, architecture, and education are identical throughout the country’s fifty-four cities. The Utopians have eliminated wealth, the nobility, and currency. Labor and goods are distributed equally and property is held in common. And there are no monasteries, alehouses, or academies to tempt a person to withdraw from society. Given More’s satiric leanings and eventual execution, is Utopia simply an attack on Europe’s wickedness? or is it a philosophical tract extolling the ideal way to live? Ultimately, Utopia navigates a course between the desire to create perfection and the pragmatic understanding that perfection, given the fallibility of mankind, is impossible. Wayne A. Rebhorn is Celanese Centennial Professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin. He has written extensively on Renaissance literature in English, Italian, French, Spanish, and Latin, on authors from Boccaccio through More and Shakespeare down to Milton.

评分【按语：初步读来，《乌托邦》是一个人文主义的作品，与其说Thomas more在实质性地主张公有制，不若说文人More在向柏拉图致敬，《理想国》中的善好城邦才是《乌托邦》中公有制思想的渊源。可以追溯到柏拉图和古希腊的还有“哲学家-王者”的观念、伊壁鸠鲁主义和斯多葛派以及基...
评分一 首先从 103页（商务印书馆，2006）开始，莫尔借希思拉德之口叙述，乌托邦人有各种宗教，每个城市也是如此。而虽然乌托邦人信仰不一，却一致同意只有一个至高的神—密特拉（Mythras），但他马上又说，不同的人对这个神持不同观点。转而在104页马上又说：乌托邦人认为...
