As the traveller, Raphael, describes the island to More, a bitter contrast is drawn between this rational society and the custom-driven practices of Europe. So how can the philosopher try to reform his society? In his fictional 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 \u003ci\u003eUtopia\u003c\/i\u003e, and few more misunderstood.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48185138806942,"sku":"UBD-9780241382684","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780241382684.jpg?v=1787485845","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780241382684","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
