Is the vision behind Utopia modern or medieval?
The book by Sir Thomas More was written in the Early Modern Period unless if you classify the 16th Century as Renassance. After the Napoleonic Wars in`1815, French socialists talked frequently about the utopia imagined by More nearly three centuries before. These French socialists theorized about what they thought to be ideal and utopian, establishing several settlements in the United States. These small communities would usually be made up of European settlers from Germany, France, and elsewhere. The communities started off good, but natural disasters and citizens abandoning the community resulted in a failed utopia. French socialism would eventually led to the communism pioneered by Marx and Engles. The thought of a classless state in which everyone worked to improve the state was the sole thing on communists, especially in Russia. So the idea of utopia came from the Early Modern Period.
