Thomas More's "Utopia" is a complex, innovative and insightful contribution to the development of political thought. The culmination of this work was a description of a country whose society lives according to the laws of nature, but is close to the ideas of the religion of Christianity - they have everything in common and gold is not valuable to them. Based on the ideas of Plato, St. Augustine and Aristotle, the Utopia novel has borne fruit, namely the dawn of new utopian and anti-utopian literature that includes the writings of such writers as Francis Bacon, Herbert Wells, Aldous Huxley and George Ourell.

Thomas More (1478-1535) opposed King Henry VIII's separation from the Catholic Church, and refused to acknowledge Henry as Supreme Head of the Church of England. While awaiting execution for refusing to betray his faith, More wrote this fictional dialogue set in 16th century Hungary. The dialogue takes place between a young man, Vincent, and his wise old uncle, Anthony. Vincent fears a Turkish invasion which could force him to either betray his faith or die a martyr.

Thomas More alcanzó la inmortalidad por su rígida postura religiosa contraria a la del rey Enrique VIII. Esto también le costaría la vida. Ejemplo de conducta y convicción, Moro debe su prestigio a una obra fundamental: Utopía (1516), un relato satírico sobre la vida en una isla de ficción llamada así. En esta isla, los intereses de los individuos se encuentran subordinados a los de la sociedad como conjunto, todos sus habitantes deben desempeñar un trabajo, se practica la enseñanza universal y la tolerancia religiosa, y la tierra pertenece a todos.

Hannah More was British playwright, abolitionist, and philanthropist. This allegory is a witty portrayal of peoples’ daily concerns; the story calls on them to keep their mind on their heavenly destination and to prepare for it. “… one would have thought they would have been chiefly employed in packing up, and preparing, and getting everything in order. But this was so far from being the case, that it was almost the only thing which they did not think about.”

Within Utopia, the listener is taken to an island where there is an idealistic community with complete social harmony. In Utopia, the community owns all property and everyone works and contributes to society which has a balance of religious and social tolerance. Throughout history, Thomas More's Utopia has been the inspiration of many social movements. Although many of More's critics believe this type of utopia to be unachievable in human societies, his work does paint a picture of what life could be like if it were possible.
