- Résumé : "Utopia," written by Sir Thomas More in 1516, stands as a foundational work in the genre of utopian literature and political philosophy. Through a fictional dialogue, More presents the account of Raphael Hythloday, a seasoned traveler who vividly describes the island of Utopia a society governed by equality, justice, and rationality. The narrative offers a nuanced critique of the political, religious, and economic systems of sixteenth-century Europe, while outlining an organization centered on the common good, religious tolerance, and universal education. More's meticulous depiction of Utopian institutions, communal property, and moral values serves simultaneously as a critical mirror of his own time and an enduring humanist manifesto. Although the society portrayed seems idealized, "Utopia" challenges readers to question the feasibility of a perfect state and to reflect on the limitations of human organization and the individual's role within the collective. This visionary work remains a touchstone for historians, philosophers, and political scientists, providing ongoing stimulus for debates about justice, freedom, property, and the pursuit of collective happiness. By blending imaginative narrative and critical analysis, "Utopia" is indispensable for understanding the history of social and political thought.
- Biographie : Sir Thomas More, born in London in 1478 and executed in 1535, was a central figure of the English Renaissance statesman, philosopher, writer, and humanist. From a bourgeois background, he studied at Oxford and distinguished himself through a prominent legal career. As a counselor and later Chancellor to King Henry VIII, More was recognized for his erudition, integrity, and commitment to justice. Influenced deeply by the tenets of humanism and Christianity, he developed a singular philosophy shaped by law, theology, and classical studies. The publication of "Utopia" situated More at the heart of discussions about social organization, religious tolerance, and moral reform. His refusal to support Henry VIII's break from the Roman Catholic Church led to his imprisonment and execution for high treason. Canonized in 1935, Thomas More is regarded as one of modernity's most influential thinkers, pioneering a unique form of social critique through his literary achievements. His legacy on utopian thought, justice, and human dignity remains vital in contemporary inquiries into the ideal society, governance, and ethical responsibility.
