The first is a long introduction to the second, where Rafael Hytholoday explains the land of Utopia. This place was designed to cause the avoidance of greed and corruption and promote real public service. There was a great deal of uniformity throughout the Utopian cities and "reason" is presented as an organizing principle. Examination of Utopia shows a less pleasant implementation of the ideal for some individuals, including slavery and only limited toleration (and certainly not acceptance) of a more varied set of religious beliefs. What remains interesting to me is that (according to the included criticism) More was noted for making his presentation of humor in a serious manner, making the serious tone part of what was intended to be funny. This makes it difficult to determine at points what is intended as the genuine ideal and what is intended as mocking particular views of "ideal." Overall this was interesting material presented in a creative and original manner. It is foundational reading for understanding the concept of utopia as we view it now. What a great book with so much good advice. Substitute Iraq and Afghanistan from Book ! " Suppose I said the King should leave Italy alone because the single kingdom of France all by itself if almost too much for one man to govern". One wonders in this day of foreclosures Book 2 might not have an idea ..not serious... "Every year they change houses by lot " geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
