In the story, we witness Thomas More, both an author and a character, reuniting with his friend Peter Giles during his ambassadorial journey to Antwerp. Giles introduces More to Raphael Hythloday, a philosopher and traveler, sparking discussions about the intersection of philosophy and politics, along with the disparities between European and Utopian societies. Hythloday declines an advisory role to the king, stating that it would obstruct his philosophical pursuits. In the second book, Hythloday elaborates on Utopia's logical society to More and Giles, prompting debates about its advantages and peculiarities. The central themes of Utopia encompass the concept of an ideal society, the influence of money on governance, and the quest for justice. Utopian society forsakes private property and currency, prioritizing communal well-being and justice. The novel further tackles issues such as unjust penalties and oppression stemming from social class distinctions.
