Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir Thomas More and His Utopia Shortly after I had begun my studies on Sir Thomas More´s Utopia, my eyes fell upon the Rede zur Jahresfeier der Universitat am 28 Februar 1921 gehalten vom Rector Professor Dr. Rudolf Helm, in which reference was made to the deplorable economical condition of Germany. Speaking of the general distress, the professor was involuntarily reminded of model States with ideal people and perfect laws and passed in review the Critias, with the unfinished picture of fairy land Atlantis, and the Republic, in some respects the proto-type of More´s Utopia. When reading Professor Helm´s remarks about the general discontent and the "Unzufriedenheit mit dem eigenen Lose," I could not help thinking of the memorable words spoken by Raphael Hythloday in More´s romance, words which so fitly apply to the present situation, "that no man ought to be counted an enemy, whyche hath done no injury, and that the felowshyppe of nature is a stronge league; and that men be better and more surely knitte togethers by love and benevolence, then by convenauntes of leagues; by hartie affection of minde then by woordes." The solidarity of the races and the brotherhood of men were - as they are now - fine phrases! Nor is it in this connection only that the Utopia reflects the sad conditions of our times. Did not More in his work give an enumeration of evils and abuses which in many respects bear a close analogy to those that beset contemporary society? Did not he unroll a very sad picture of the international position of the nations of Europe? Did not he raise his voice in bitter complaint against the insecurity of public affairs, and the increase of crime against life and property?
