	Utopia: Free Encyclopedia Articles at Questia.com Online Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		The description of a utopia enables an author not only to set down criticisms of evils in the contemporary social scene but also to outline vast and revolutionary reforms without the necessity of describing how they will be effected.
		With the Renaissance the ideal of a utopia became more worldly, but the religious element in utopian thinking is often present thereafter, such as in the politico-religious ideals of 17th-century English social philosophers and political experimenters.
		The device of describing a utopia in satire or for the exercise of wit is almost as old as the serious utopia.

	SparkNotes: Utopia: Context
		The second part of the first book involves an extended speech by Hythloday on a number of issues, some that were of vital and personal interest to More the author, others that provide a certain insight into Hythloday and perhaps reveal him to be not quite as knowledgeable as one might first believe.
		Utopia is, then, a depiction of a semi-ideal society and all of the criticism of European society that ideal represents, and it is a commentary on itself and its themes.
		Ultimately, Utopia is a book that, like More, attempted to navigate a course through the ideal and the real, between a desire to create perfection and the pragmatic understanding that perfection, given the fallibility of mankind, is impossible.

	Utopia & Utopian Philosophy
		Since each person has their own unique vision of Utopia, the only universally agreeable description of Utopia is, "the ability for each person to live in their own vision of paradise." Humanity should strive to obtain that ability.
		Since humans consist of both a tangible physical state (body) and an intangible mental state (mind), the way to achieve Utopia is to find technologies and methods that fully satisfy both states of human existence.
		Everyone makes a vote as to the type of world we have with their lifetime efforts, and the total of all human actions determines whether the world is like a heaven on earth or a living hell.

	Utopia Britannica Reviews
		Utopia Britannica is a book about experiments in utopian thought, and it is also a utopian experiment in itself, covering, as it does, seven centuries of utopianism with a breadth of detail that is at times overwhelming.
		The book is neither academic nor stodgy, rather it provides brief snapshots of utopian dreamers and communities across the centuries, which build together to create a mosaic of historical utopian visions that cannot fail to give the reader a profound sense of hope.
		Leslie Paul's books are certainly sought today; he was one of the twentieth century's foremost writers on philosophy, as well as a fine autobiographer.:; I think he found his utopia as writer in residence at a Cheltenham college.

	Anarchy, State, and Utopia
		The book, championing individual liberties, argued that the rights of the individual are so sweeping and primary that nothing more than a minimal state—sufficient to protect against violence, theft, and to ensure the enforcement of contracts—is warranted.
		The book also argues that the justice of a distribution depends upon the process by which it arises rather than upon the pattern that it exhibits.
		Rawls' book provided a philosophical underpinning for the bureaucratic welfare state, a methodically reasoned argument for why it was right for the state to redistribute wealth in order to help the poor and disadvantaged....

	Book utopia - Free Text - Editor E&P > Utopia.it _______________________________________________________________
		Utopia will, nevertheless, only be referred to against the background of modern technology, as any reproposal of primitive communism would be regressive and puerile.
		It is not, of course, an attempt to hypothesise a mechanical relationship between Utopia and physics, but rather a case of establishing a strong analogy between the theory of relativity, which has opened new scientific areas, and the Utopian logic, which could support the birth of new social configurations.
		In order to detect the forces that are genuinely interested in Utopia it is therefore necessary to place the Marxist logic side by side with the logic of the positive, and to attribute to each one the limits of its competence.

	Amazon.com: Utopia (Penguin Classics): Books: Thomas More,Paul Turner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Utopia is Greek for "Good Place, and "no place." He is punning an ironic two-sided term he clearly intended irony when he wrote this text, which provided the foundation for a new genre for social representation.
		Therefore, any utopia is a reflection and study of the world that we are occupying at that given moment and what we wish it were rather than what it is at that moment.
		Progress is the realization of utopias." So when we talk about utopias we are not only talking about a desire or a wish or a longing for perfection, we are talking about an order of progress, a way in which we intend to advance, a way in which we envision or imagine improvement and progress.

	Utopia by Thomas More. Search, Read, Study, Discuss.
		Utopia is a classic masterpiece that conveys More's vivid imagination of the Island of Utopia.
		To make a long story short, I think it is a great book because of the actual time it was written in since most pieces of literature written at that time were either lost or destroyed.
		Utopia is an excellent book that describes a place where everything is perfect.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews: Utopia; Fantastic Tales
		Utopia, just reissued by Ace Books, is the third volume of Roger MacBride Allen 's Caliban Trilogy, which is set in the future history of Isaac Asimov's "Robot" novels.
		Utopia, by contrast, is a fast-paced race against the clock, first to intercept the comet in time to divert it toward Inferno, then to rescue a kidnapped politician whose death would likely incite the slaughter of the New Law robots.
		Neither the human nor the robot characters of Utopia quite measure up to Asimov's crime-solving duo, though the three types of robot in the story function, intentionally or not, as an existential commentary on the human condition.

	Lincoln Child : Death Match : Utopia : Book Review
		As in Child’s last book, Utopia, he takes a highly desirable concept that has got to be too perfect to be true, and breaks it open to show the flaw in the core.
		The whole book is extremely compelling, not just for the unusual plot line idea, but for the fact that, like Lash, we can’t help but worry over the deaths.
		When I opened up the book and saw the map, I was reminded of Larry Niven's Dream Park, or maybe WestWorld, and had visions of a grim Yule Brenner roving through the pages in his signature fl cowboy outfit.

	Anarchy State and Utopia - Book Information
		"...This book is the best piece of sustained analytical argument in political philosophy to have appeared for a very long time." Mind
		Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia is a powerful, philosophical challenge to the most widely held political and social positions of our age -- liberal, socialist and conservative.
		Among the many achievements of the work are an important new theory of distributive justice, a model of utopia, and an integration of ethics, legal philosophy and economic theory into a profound position in political philosophy which will be discussed for years to come.

		But Gordon points out that "modern architects saw [the Hamptons as] a blank slate upon which to conduct their experiments," and his book is a fine guide to one of American modernism's foremost laboratories of style.
		Gordon, a journalist, architecture critic and lifelong resident of Amagansett, is divided in his heart: He cherishes the natural beauty of the area and reveres its many and varied architectural monuments, but he hates the new plenty.
		Gordon's book is a wide-ranging cultural history of a very particular place, and it's told in a very particular way: through the evolution of architectural style.

		'Utopia' is More's response to and development from Plato's 'Republic', in that it is a framework for a perfect society, or at least perfect according to More's ideas of the time.
		Hythloday proceeds to give an account of the life of Utopia, where, he says, there are so few laws and so much liberty and equality that virtue is always rewarded, and each person has what he or she needs.

		I recommend reading the whole book instead of skipping chapters, as there are some concepts (like object literals) that are used in the rest of the book once they have been explained.

		Being already pretty familiar with JavaScript and its day to day usage, this book opened my eyes to many other possibile uses, as well as giving me a glimpse as to the power and usefulness of Ajax (which is covered in one chapter).
		This book is great for updating your skills and learning modern JavaScript programming, without the old hacks that many of use learned and continued using over the years.
		However the book also explains what an appropriate application for AJAX is and where it isn't appropriate because of usability issues, etc. Also covered are other remote scripting possibilities - with so much focus on AJAX right now its easy to forget these alternatives, which sometimes can provide useful alternative solutions.
