Composed specifically as a response to Henry VIII's break with Rome, the book meditates on the perfect society while indirectly critiquing the political and social ills of Tudor England. Containing thoughts on religious pluralism, a welfare state, and women's rights, More's book was well ahead of its time, already hinting at later theories on communism and capitalism centuries before Marx, Engels, and Smith.

"Thomas Morus, Lordkanzler von England, dessen Seele reiner war als der reinste Schnee, dessen Genius so groß war, wie England nie einen hatte, ja nie wieder haben wird, obgleich England eine Mutter großer Geister ist."

Seine Gedanken und Ideen jedoch greifen sogar über unsere heutigen Zeiten hinaus.
