«Utopía» is the classic of political philosophy by Tomás Moro, published by Austral in paperback (180 pages, in Spanish).
In «Utopía», Moro imagines the island of Utopia as an ideal society to examine the social order of sixteenth-century Europe and propose an alternative political system. The work functions as a moral denunciation of established power and reveals the tension between the collectivist project and individual freedom, in a book on philosophy and social justice.
It belongs to the Clásica collection (volume 1) of Austral, within the Sciences and Humanities series; includes a prologue by Fernando Savater and edition and translation by Pedro Voltes.
Work of interest for readers of political philosophy, Renaissance humanism and classics of social 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.
