«Utopía» is the political philosophy essay by Thomas More, published by Brontes Ediciones in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Written in 1516, the work describes an ideal state that More calls 'Utopía', a word he invented from the Greek roots 'u' (not) and 'topos' (place), that is, 'no place'. Like Castiglione with the courtier or Machiavelli with the prince, it proposes a model of political organisation, and its success incorporated the term into common language.
Complete edition, with prologue and presentation by Francesc-Lluís Cardona, in the Fontana collection (series C, number 20).
Classic of political thought, aimed at philosophy students and readers interested in the origins of the concept of utopia.
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.
