Definition, Concepts, and Varieties Utopia Definition, Concepts, and Varieties

Utopia: A Definition An ideally perfect place, an impractical idealistic scheme. The word “utopia” comes from two Greek words: “oi” (not) and “topos” (place) = “nowhere.” The word was created by Sir Thomas More in 1516 when he wrote a book by that title.

Utopian Concepts Poverty and misery are removed. Very few laws are necessary. Money is unnecessary. The society is free of class systems, meaning the equality of all people. View on the future is optimistic and upbeat.

Religious and Scientific Concepts The Judeo-Christian concept of the Garden of Eden and Heaven. The Buddhist concept of Nirvana. Advanced science and technology will abolish suffering and death.

Utopia Varieties Ecological Utopia: a traditional way of life that is more in harmony with nature. Economic Utopia: the total abolition of money; only working on what one enjoys and on what is for the common good. Political Utopia: world peace—without war; everyone gets along regardless of race, culture, and political beliefs. Religious Utopia: harmonious relationships and enlightenment. Science and Technology Utopia: set in the future; absence of death and suffering.
