Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
This edition includes: -Several illustrations from the original work -Extended and up to date introduction -A discussion of the structure of the book First published in 1516, Saint Thomas More's Utopia is one of the most important works of European humanism. Through the voice of the mysterious traveller Raphael Hythloday, More describes a pagan, communist city-state governed by reason. Addressing such issues as religious pluralism, women's rights, state-sponsored education, colonialism, and justified warfare, Utopia seems remarkably contemporary nearly five centuries after it was written, and it remains a foundational text in philosophy and political theory. Precminent More scholar Clarence H. Miller does justice to the full range of More's rhetoric in this new translation. Professor Miller includes a helpful introduction that outlines some of the important problems and issues that Utopia raises, and also provides informative commentary to assist the reader throughout this challenging and rewarding exploration of the meaning of political community.

The Utopia Experiment
Author: Dylan Evans
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
ISBN: 144726133X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
As read on BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week. Imagine you have survived an apocalypse. Civilization as you knew it is no more. What will life be like and how will you cope? In 2006, Dylan Evans set out to answer these questions. He left his job in a high-tech robotics lab, moved to the Scottish Highlands and founded a community called The Utopia Experiment. There, together with an eclectic assortment of volunteers, he tried to live out a scenario of global collapse, free from modern technology and comforts. Within a year, Evans found himself detained in a psychiatric hospital, shattered and depressed, trying to figure out what had gone wrong. In The Utopia Experiment he tells his own extraordinary story: his frenzied early enthusiasm for this unusual project, the many challenges of post-apocalyptic living, his descent into madness and his gradual recovery. In the process, he learns some hard lessons about himself and about life, and comes to see the modern world he abandoned in a new light. 'A gripping, slow-motion car crash. You can't take your eyes off it' Julian Baggini, Financial Times 'It radiates an intense intelligence and a candour that is never less than touching and, sometimes, downright heartrending' Daily Mail 'Extraordinary . . . both frightening and compelling' GQ

The Utopia
Author: Christian Jerry Marchioni
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1038317339
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
In the Utopia, where all major decisions are made by the Computer, life is far from idyllic for many. Three ordinary people find their lives intertwined in a society that demands conformity and obedience. Deron Boyd, a man struggling with loss and addiction, has been convicted of a crime he doesn’t remember committing. Even though there’s surveillance footage of him breaking into a Store and stealing drugs, he feels that something isn’t quite right. Everything in the Utopia is free—there is no money—so why didn’t he just wait until the Store opened? Matthew Tucker is a guard who transports criminals to the Utopia’s labour camp, a place where Utopians work for twelve hours a day. He lives in constant fear of failing his duties and being sent back to the Camp himself. So when the leaders of the Utopia ask him, a lowly guard, for a meeting, he doesn’t know what to think. Sakura Saito’s story mirrors that of Deron’s, with loss and addiction affecting every part of her life. When she arrives at the Camp, she becomes a beacon of hope and love in Deron’s darkest days, though soon their relationship is strained with the inevitable hanging over them—Sakura’s release and their unavoidable separation. But a friend thinks he has a plan to keep them together, though it requires them to risk it all.

Interminable Wars vs. The Utopia Options
Author: Gary Clifford Gibson

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
The Waveform Politics series present Gary C. Gibson's essays on U.S. contemporary history topics with analysis of political policy trends and national interest issues. The author's opinion of exclusivist broadcast media is that it is a politically corrupting tool in support of concentrating wealth within a global corporatist-socialist political agenda. The essays have a philosophical spin. Protracted nation-rebuilding conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and misc. fiscal perfidy bust the U.S. public budget without necessity.
