| Notes: | More describes a pagan and communist city-state in which institutions and policies are entirely governed by reason. The order and dignity of such a state was intended to provide a notable contrast with his description of the unreasonable state of the Europe of his time. COMMENTS — More’s book is the first use of the word “Utopia.” It is taken from Greek, ou — not or no, and topos — place. |
