Description
This book explores the range of individual readings of "Utopia", as well as considering the general nature of the work - whether it is best approached as an intellectual history, a political science or a literary text. The author argues that the intellectual conflicts that have arisen from these different perspectives were a part of More's own scheme, and that attempts to prove the priority of one or the other are beside the point. However, in as much as it is a literary essay on a political and ideological subject, it seeks to induce an attitude or quality of mind rather than to propose a set of concrete solutions to actual problems.
