Sir Thomas More (1478 - 1535), the ill-fated Lord Chancellor of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547), wrote the book "Utopia" in 1516.
Sir Thomas More is often viewed as a complex figure; he is celebrated for his integrity, intellectual contributions, and strong moral convictions, particularly in his opposition to the Reformation and his commitment to Catholicism. However, his role in the persecution of heretics and his approval of executions for those who defied his beliefs complicates the perception of him as a purely good person. His unwavering principles led him to sacrifice his life for his beliefs, reflecting a deep commitment to his ideals that some admire while others criticize. Ultimately, whether he was a "good" person depends on one's perspective on his moral and ethical choices.
Utopia was coined by Sir Thomas More in 1551 from the Greek (ootopia) meaning "no (such) place." ou "not" + topos "place" It was extended to "any perfect place" somewhere in 1613.
