Answer:
“Utopia” is a work of fiction and socio-political satire by Thomas More, also called Saint Thomas More, english humanist and statesman, chancellor of England, who was beheaded for refusing to accept King Henry VIII as head of the Church of England. He is recognized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
Utoopia is a Greek name of More’s coining, from ou-topos “no place”; a pun on eu-topos “good place” is suggested in a prefatory poem. More’s Utopia describes a pagan and communist city-state in which the institutions and policies are entirely governed by reason. The order and dignity of such a state provided a notable contrast with the unreasonable polity of Christian Europe, divided by self-interest and greed for power and riches, which More described in his book.
