Really enjoyed this conversation with @JochenSchmon at the @JHIdeas blog about naive materialism, environmental justice, capitalist unfreedom, political commitments, and other questions raised by Free Gifts https://t.co/6znscYCpo4
another new thunderbolt @OLSilverman: the idea of Utopia was born in the imagination of Thomas More as a counter-insurgent concept, an attempt to smooth over the tremors of popular revolt and early stirrings of communism..read about the Tale of Two Thomases (More & Müntzer) here!
Did you know that Thomas More, coiner of the word utopia, opposed the protocommunists of his time?
My article “Unfinished Acts: Utopia, Thomas More, and the Peasants’ War” is out now in
