What was Thomas More's central idea?
My central concern was the pursuit of justice and the common good, both in this world and the next. Through works like 'Utopia,' I grappled with how to construct a society that minimized suffering and maximized well-being for its citizens. This involved not only political and social arrangements but also a deep reflection on virtue and the proper ordering of human desires. I believed that a good society must be grounded in reason and guided by a concern for equity, though I also recognized the limitations of human endeavor without divine grace.
