Book Overview

Famous Utopias: Being The Complete Text Of Rousseau�������s Social Contract, More�������s Utopia, Bacon�������s New Atlantis, Campanella�������s City Of The Sun is a book compiled by Charles McLean Andrews and first published in 1901. The book brings together the complete texts of four famous works of utopian literature: Jean-Jacques Rousseau's The Social Contract, Thomas More's Utopia, Francis Bacon's New Atlantis, and Tommaso Campanella's The City of the Sun. These four works are considered classics of the utopian genre, and each presents a unique vision of an ideal society. Rousseau's The Social Contract outlines a social contract between citizens and the state, in which individuals surrender some of their freedoms in exchange for protection and security. More's Utopia describes an imaginary island society that is highly organized and egalitarian, with communal property and a focus on education and the common good. Bacon's New Atlantis presents a society that is highly scientific and technologically advanced, with a focus on the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of humanity. Finally, Campanella's The City of the Sun describes a utopian city that is highly spiritual and mystical, with a focus on the pursuit of inner peace and enlightenment.Famous Utopias is a valuable resource for anyone interested in utopian literature, political philosophy, or the history of ideas. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to these four classic works, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the utopian visions that have inspired generations of thinkers and writers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
