Abstract

The text explores the book Utopia (1516), of Thomas More, specially what is said there about work, its organization and its distribution in the society. 1t begins by pointing out the controversy around the book, which is included in the tradition of writing in ductus obliquus, as said by Leo Strauss and Miguel Abensour, and proceeds to a review of what More says about work, when he writes about that imaginary and ideal island.
