书籍简介

托马斯·莫尔爵士的《乌托邦》出版于 1516 年，当时正值政治和技术发生惊人变革的时期，书中描绘了一个没有私有财产、性别歧视和暴力的想象社会。

哲学家兼环球旅行家拉斐尔·希斯洛迪 (Raphael Hythloday) 向作者和他的朋友描述了他访问过的一个名为乌托邦 (Utopia) 的岛国（结合了希腊语 ou-topos 和 eu-topos，分别表示“没有地方”和“好地方”）。 希斯洛迪认为，乌托邦人的理性社会秩序远远优于欧洲的任何事物，而他的听众则发现他们的许多习俗很吸引人，但却很荒谬。 考虑到莫尔以自己的名字命名的角色的神秘矛盾心理以及他贯穿始终的俏皮希腊双关语（包括希斯洛迪的名字，意思是“知道废话”），很难知道莫尔到底想让他的读者对所有创新做出什么解释 他的乌托邦。 但其激进的人文主义对现代历史产生了不可估量的影响，其愿景的呼吁在今天和文艺复兴时期一样持续不断。

Published in 1516, during a period of astonishing political and technological change, Sir Thomas More's Utopia depicts an imaginary society free of private property, sexual discrimination, violence.

Raphael Hythloday, a philospher and world traveler, describes to the author and his friend an island nation he has visited called Utopia (combining the Greek ou-topos and eu-topos, for "no place" and "good place," respectively). Hythloday believes the rational social order of the Utopians is far superior to anything in Europe, while his listeners find many of their customs appealing but absurd. Given the enigmatic ambivalence of the character that More named after himself and the playful Greek puns he sprinkled throughout (including Hythloday's name, which means "knowing nonsense"), it is difficult to know what precisely More meant his readers to make of all the innovations of his Utopia. But its radical humanism has had an incalculable effect on modern history, and the callenge of its vision is as insistent today as it was in the Renaissance.
