orderly, reasonable social arrangements of Utopia and its environs (Tallstoria, Nolandia,
and Aircastle). In Utopia, with communal ownership of land, private property does not
exist, men and women are educated alike, and there is almost complete religious
toleration. Some take the novel's principal message to be the social need for order and
discipline rather than liberty. The country of Utopia tolerates different religious practices
but does not tolerate atheists. Hythlodeaus theorises that if a man did not believe in a
god or in an afterlife he could never be trusted, because he would not acknowledge any
authority or principle outside himself.
* Utopia is a work of satire, indirectly criticizing Europe's political corruption and religious
hypocrisy. More was a Catholic Humanist. Alongside his close friend, the philosopher
and writer Erasmus, More saw Humanism as a way to combine faith and reason.
* It was published in Louvain (present-day Belgium).
