Problem
A. What is Raphael Hythloday view of the court, and of participation in its affairs? In what sense are his statements in part a justification of author Thomas More's purpose in offering his readers the book Utopia?
B. Is it possible to be a virtuous person -as More understands this (think of his description of Peter Giles)-and still service in politics?
C. One of the sub arguments here concerns the death penalty for crimes. What do you think of this discussion? What is Hythloday's argument here? Is slavery a more just form o punishment? Do you agree with the purpose of punishment outlined here?
D. What does Hythloday see as the root cause of injustice and poverty?
