«Utopía» is the political philosophy essay by Thomas More, published by Plutón Ediciones in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
In the work, Thomas More describes an island called Utopía where property is communal, education universal, and religious tolerance the norm. That imaginary society serves to criticize the institutions of the Europe of his time. The title, from the Greek «no place», has come to designate any unrealizable ideal.
Work originally published in 1516; this Spanish edition, translated by Celia Akram, is part of the Eterna Collection of Plutón Ediciones.
A read for those interested in political philosophy, classical literature, and utopian thought.
Sir Thomas More, venerated in the Catholic Church as a martyr and saint, was an English lawyer, judge, social philosopher, author, statesman, theologian and Renaissance humanist. He also served Henry VIII as Lord Chancellor from October 1529 to May 1532. He wrote Utopia, published in 1516, which describes the political system of an imaginary island state.
