A Ecopedagogia traduz para o campo da Educação as mais importantes discussões realizadas na atualidade sobre questões ambientais. Ecopedagogia, ou pedagogia da terra, ela se afirma como um espaço em que todas as utopias ganham nova forma. Neste artigo nos propomos a discutir o estatuto da Ecopedagogia enquanto espaço da utopia, a partir da análise de suas interfaces com a utopia de Marcuse, do Século XX, e de Schiller, um dos teóricos do Romantismo alemão. Através dessa discussão será possível concluir que existe uma nítida relação entre Ecopedagogia e utopia, mas também entre Ecopedagogia e interesses do capital globalizado e por isso deve ser vista sempre com reservas.

Sir Thomas More wrote Utopia in 1516 in Latin. His Utopia is a fictional island, whose society, religion and politics he explores. Critics do not believe that the island depicted More's idea of the perfect society, but rather that he hoped to throw the politics of his own time into a new light by contrasting them with his imagined island society. The work references Plato's Republic

Mit seinem Hauptwerk, der staatsphilosophischen Schrift 'Utopia'(d.h. "Nirgendwo"), 1516 in lateinischer Sprache erschienen, wurde Morus - Richter, Parlamentarier, Diplomat und Märtyrer der Römischen Kirche - zum Schöpfer des Begriffs und der Gattung der Utopie. Er interessierte sich früh für Literatur und Philosophie, mußte aber wie sein Vater die Rechte studieren und wurde Richter. Eine diplomatische Mission in den Niederlanden führte er so gut aus, daß der König ihn als Berater an den Hof holte, wo er, der Politik und dem Machtspiel im Grunde abgeneigt, bis zum Lordkanzler avancierte. Eine enge Freundschaft verband ihn mit Erasmus von Rotterdam, den er in seinem Haus in Chelsea zur Niederschrift von 'Lob der Narrheit' anregte. Er selbst begann in Holland mit seinem Meisterwerk 'Utopia', das 1516 erschien. Als strenggläubiger Christ verweigerte er Heinrich VIII. den Eid, als dieser sich zum Oberhaupt der englischen Kirche erklärte, und wurde als Hochverräter 1535 hingerichtet. Er starb als "the king's good servant, but God's first" und wurde 400 Jahre später von der römisch-katholischen Kirche heiliggesprochen.

For more than 2,000 years utopian visionaries have sought to create a blueprint of the ideal society?from Plato to H. G. Wells, from Cloudcuckooland to Shangri-La. The utopian impulse has generated a vast body of work, encompassing philosophy and political theory, classical literature, and science fiction; yet these utopian dreams have often turned to nightmare, as utopia gives way to its dark reflection, dystopia. Taking the reader on a journey through these imaginary worlds, this work charts the progress of utopian ideas from their origins within the classical world to the rebirth

A unique edition of three early modern utopian texts, using a contemporary translation of More's Utopia and examining the Renaissance world view as shown by these writers. The edition includes the illustrative material that accompanied early editions of Utopia, full chronologies of the authors, notes, and glossary. - ;Thomas More: Utopia/ Francis Bacon: New Atlantis/Henry Neville: The Isle of Pines With the publication of Utopia (1516), Thomas More introduced into the English language not only a new word, but a new way of thinking about the gulf between what ought to be and what is. His Utopia

First published in Latin in 1516, Utopia was the work of Sir Thomas More (1477-1535), the brilliant humanist, scholar, and churchman executed by Henry VIII for his refusal to accept the king as the supreme head of the Church of England. In this work, which gave its name to the whole genre of books and movements hypothesizing an ideal society, More envisioned a patriarchal island kingdom that practiced religious tolerance, in which everybody worked, no one has more than his fellows, all goods were community-owned, and violence, bloodshed, and vice nonexistent. Based to some extent on the writ

"Saint Thomas More's Utopia is one of the most important works of European humanism and serves as a key text in survey courses on Western intellectual history, the Renaissance, political theory, and many other subjects. Preeminent More scholar Clarence H. Miller does justice to the full range of More's rhetoric in this masterful translation. In a new afterword to this edition, Jerry Harp contextualizes More's life and Utopia within the wider frames of European humanism and the Renaissance."--Page 4 of cover

Wohlstand und leichte Arbeit für alle, Partnerschaften ohne Konflikte und Kultur von Kindesbeinen an - so muss sie aussehen, die beste aller möglichen Welten. Nie wieder wurde über das Zusammenleben in einer Gesellschaft so menschenfreundlich fantasiert wie in ?Utopia? (?Nichtort?), diesem ersten Staatsroman unserer Zeit. Dabei konnte der Kontrast im 16. Jahrhundert, geprägt durch soziale Missstände, Konflikte und Kriminalität, kaum gröe︣r sein. Thomas Morus' Schilderung einer Reise zum Hort purer Harmonie war vor diesem Hintergrund auch nicht durchwegs ernst gemeint. Vielmehr kippt ?Utopia? häufig ins Ironische, was den Roman zu einer noch heute ebenso anregenden wie sympathischen Lektüre macht. (Verlagsinformation)

This is a fully revised edition of one of the most successful volumes in the Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought series. Incorporating extensive updates to the editorial apparatus, including the introduction, suggestions for further reading, and footnotes, this third edition of More's Utopia has been comprehensively re-worked to take into account scholarship published since the second edition in 2002. The vivid and engaging translation of the work itself by Robert M. Adams includes all the ancillary materials by More's fellow humanists that, added to the book at his own request, collectively constitute the first and best interpretive guide to Utopia. Unlike other teaching editions of Utopia, this edition keeps interpretive commentary - whether editorial annotations or the many pungent marginal glosses that are an especially attractive part of the humanist ancillary materials - on the page they illuminate instead of relegating them to endnotes, and provides students with a uniquely full and accessible experience of More's perennially fascinating masterpiece.
