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.
莫尔的两难 莫尔在介绍乌托邦的社会制度之前,并不是按照一般学术著作开篇谋局,对乌托邦作一总揽,让读者以俯瞰的方式观其大概,进而抽丝剥茧,逐条剖析其内部机理,而是从乌托邦的地理特性入手,着重强调乌托邦暗礁密布、航道莫测、城防坚固,乌托邦国民握据天险屏障,军事上...
评分如果恶是现世的写照,一个没有宗教信仰的人何以在现世活得足够好而不至于郁郁而终?对于无神论者来说,这是个问题。回过头去匍匐在某个神的脚下祈求指引,是倒退;跌入恶的泥潭一蹶不振,是自弃。读完《乌托邦》我似乎找到了答案,没有信仰的灵魂终究不安宁,不相信神,那就选...
评分 评分 评分去年“柏拉图注疏集”丛书引进的《柏拉图的神话之镜》是本思路很独特的学术著作。在第九章,作者论述柏拉图的大西岛神话时顺便提到了《乌托邦》,做了一番比较详尽的分析: *和大全划清界限,并建立一个构成性的、单一的统一体,这有悖于形象的规则。乌托邦成了一个封闭的社...
