Thomas More

Buchbewertung

Mehr zum Buch

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.

Die Ausgabe die ich hier gekauft habe, bietet eine gut lesbare deutsche Transkription des Textes von Morus, allerdings ohne Einführung oder Kommentar. Auffallend waren mehrere Druckfehler, die nichts mit der Übersetzung zu tun hatten. Dennoch sehr brauchbar, wenn man nur mit dem Text arbeiten oder ihn einfach kennenlernen möchte.
