Utopia and education through the thought of Thomas More

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the work of Thomas More - Utopia (1516) - a timeless vision that enlightens human thought in the unpredictable world of contemporaneity. This reflection will be divided into six focuses of analysis: Organization, Land Cultivation, Private Life and Institutions, Education and Gender Relations, More’s Critics, and Parallelism between More and Comenius. Finally, it will focus on the issues of utopia and education in the world and people's lives, as well as on its meaning and usefulness to lead the world of contemporaneity, without neglecting that utopia highlights what is absent in the present and imagines what can be achieved in the future.
