As the traveller describes the island, a bitter contrast is drawn between this rational society and the practices of Europe. How can the philosopher reform his society? In his discussion, More takes up a question first raised by Plato and which is still a challenge in the contemporary world. In the history of political thought few works have been more influential than Utopia, and few more misunderstood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated and introduced by Dominic Baker-Smith\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43925460746499,"sku":"9780141442327","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9780141442327.jpg?v=1731408203","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.pro\/products\/9780141442327","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
