A chapter in The State as Utopia, 2011, pp 89-114 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The fifteenth-century rediscovery of Plato and Plutarch stimulated the early modern “best state” exercise and encouraged a debate on constitutions that replicated the seed-bed out of which the classical utopia had sprung.1 If we define utopia as the envisaging of a best commonwealth, or ideal society, of sinful human beings in a fallen world without benefit of divine agency, then more may be said to have reinaugurated the exercise.
