Utopia

More about the book

Exploring the contradictions in Thomas More's beliefs, the book delves into the provocative ideas presented in Utopia, such as divorce, euthanasia, and gender equality in the clergy. It highlights the tension between More's advocacy for religious toleration and his historical role as a persecutor of Protestants. Additionally, the critique of lawyers is examined in the context of More's own influential legal career as Lord Chancellor, raising questions about his motivations and the complexities of his philosophical stance.
