The term 'utopia' is a hybrid, as many critics have pointed out, meaning 'eu-topia' (good place) or 'ou-topia' (no place). The word entered the language in 1516 as the title of Thomas More's famous work describing an ideally ordered island state somewhere in the New World, that is, somewhere in that part of the world then being opened up to imperial trade and conquest.

In this article the authors re-examine Sir Thomas More's classic book Utopia as a potential source of ideas and concepts for examining, understanding and imagining contemporary education. Too often the concept utopia is used to criticize an idea, perspective or image as offering a simplistic solution to a complex problem, or, at its worst, as a model that all must be forced to accept.

Abstract. Thomas More's Utopia is one of the most iconic, translated, and influential texts of the European Renaissance, attracting enormous amounts of critical attention since its first publication in Latin in 1516. The first half of this editors' Introduction places Utopia in the context of More's life and the world in which he lived. It also outlines the extensive critical and

Utopia, book by Thomas More, published in 1516. Derived from the Greek for "no place" ( ou topos) and coined by More, the word utopia refers to an imaginary and perfect world, an ideally organized state.

'Utopia and ideology' looks at the connection between the terms and how this connection can be confusing. The 20th century has been called the 'age of ideology' and utopia used both as a contrast and as being interchangeable with ideology. There is a utopia at the heart of every ideology.

Ideology is also thought to imply being out of touch with
