| Summary: | Introduction: In search of the meaning of Utopia -- The mystery of More's "Either/or" 1505 decision: bodily and mental issues before late 1504 -- More's radically new, both/and, paradigm: Erasmus' De taedio Iesu and the Enchiridion, 1503 -- More's Lucian, 1506, and Utopia: teaching Stoic two-dimensional Christianity -- Thomas More as unitarily "democritus" and "the man for all seasons": Erasmus' preface to The praise of folly, 1510 -- A Stoic/Morean Praise of folly, 1511: The praise of folly works out More's Stoic-framed transformation -- Utopian philosophy, 1516: Epicureanism within a Stoic Honestum/Utile frame -- Utopian warfare: a unitary two-dimensional mindset -- What Wiseman Hythloday did not understand. "This unique study considers the influences of Stoic critics on the evolution of Thomas More's thought. The author argues that More's engaement with Erasmus's work radicalized his understanding of Christianity and shaped the writing of Utopia."-- |
