[021] Social Science Talks: Utopia, By Thomas More
Manage episode 156131751 series 1177764
“We did not ask if he had seen any monsters, for monsters have ceased to be news. There is never any shortage of horrible creatures who prey on human beings, snatch away their food, or devour whole populations; but examples of wise social planning are not so easy to find.”
500 Years after it was first published, Utopia remains an important example of a counterfactual narrative that invites us to examine what society might be like, or might become, if organised under different principles. Join us as we discuss property, Marxism, Christianity and whether Thomas More holds a 500-year old record for the best puns in science fiction.
Utopia was recently dramatised for BBC Radio 4; you can listen to it here.
