Utopia

Sir Thomas More's 1516 work had the Latin title Libellus vere aureus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus, de optimo rei publicae statu deque nova insula Utopia, which translates roughly into "A Truly Golden Little Book, No Less Beneficial Than Entertaining, of the Best State of a Republic, and of the New Island Utopia".

The book by Sir Thomas More was written in the Early Modern Period unless if you classify the 16th Century as Renassance. After the Napoleonic Wars in`1815, French socialists talked frequently about the utopia imagined by More nearly three centuries before. These French socialists theorized about what they thought to be ideal and utopian, establishing several settlements in the United States. These small communities would usually be made up of European settlers from Germany, France, and elsewhere. The communities started off good, but natural disasters and citizens abandoning the community resulted in a failed utopia. French socialism would eventually led to the communism pioneered by Marx and Engles. The thought of a classless state in which everyone worked to improve the state was the sole thing on communists, especially in Russia. So the idea of utopia came from the Early Modern Period.

He was showing that society in Europe was disorderly by nature. It was often believed that if the world was entirely Christian then their would be no problems, but More satirized this using England (an island of Christians) and showing all of their problems.

Thomas More and Giles believe that Hythloday would make a good adviser because of his extensive knowledge of different societies and his critical perspective on contemporary political issues. His experiences in Utopia provide him with insights into ideal governance and social structures, allowing him to offer valuable advice that challenges conventional thinking. Additionally, Hythloday’s ability to articulate the flaws in existing systems makes him a potential catalyst for reform.

In the novel "Anthem" by Ayn Rand, the concept of utopia is explored through the lens of a collectivist society that suppresses individuality and personal freedom in the pursuit of a perceived perfect community. The protagonist, Equality 7-2521, yearns for a world where individuals can express themselves and live authentically, contrasting with the oppressive regime that enforces conformity. The novel ultimately critiques the idea of a utopia achieved through collectivism, suggesting that true fulfillment comes from individualism and self-discovery. Thus, "Anthem" serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of sacrificing personal freedom for the illusion of a perfect society.
