The Differences between Plato's Republic and Thomas More's Utopia

Abstract

Bu makalenin amacı, ütopya kavramını açıklamak, Platon’un Devlet’i ve Thomas More’un Ütopya’sı arasındaki farklılıkları belirtmek, her iki kitabın önemini tartışmaktır. ‘Ütopya’ kelimesi eski Yunan dilinden ‘değil’ anlamına gelen ‘ou’; ‘iyi’ anlamına gelen ‘eu’; ve ‘şehir’ anlamına gelen ’topos’ kelimelerinin birleştirilmesi ile oluşmuştur. Yani, ‘ütopya’ ‘iyi’ fakat ‘mümkün olmayan’ yer anlamına gelmektedir. ‘Mümkün olmayan’ yer anlamına gelse de, ütopya vatandaşları için mükemmel ya da ideal toplumun ifade ediliş biçimidir. Ütopyacıların amacı daha iyi bir toplum ya da devlet kurmanın mümkünlüğünü göstermektir. Her ütopyacı kendi toplum modelini inşa eder, döneminin problemlerini eleştirir. Bu makalede, Platon’un Devlet’i ve Thomas More’un Ütopya’sının, ütopya türünün bir örneği olarak ve bu sınıflandırma kapsamındaki çalışmalar içerisindeki önemi analiz edilecektir.
