The famous myth of Utopia, written by Thomas More in the early 16th century and since then has never ceased to fascinate and provoke interest, deals with the eternal philosophical question of the ideal society. More incorporates elements from Plato, Aristotle, Stoicism, and Epicureanism into his vision of the ideal society, and speaks of the abolition of private property, religious tolerance, state provision, and care for all citizens, with the aim of achieving happiness through the attainment of social peace and justice. A text that has influenced the philosophical, political, and literary tradition of the West like few others, a brilliant offspring of the humanism of the Renaissance.
