Sammanfattning av Utopia, Part 6

Vad händer

1. Travel requires permission, and visitors must work during extended stays; unauthorized travel brings punishment and, for a second offense, slavery.
2. Towns share supplies, export surpluses, and accumulate wealth used chiefly for war, while gold serves degrading purposes at home.
3. Anemolian ambassadors expect admiration for their ornaments but abandon them after discovering that Utopians associate such display with disgrace.
4. The Utopians ground happiness in natural, honorable pleasure, rejecting luxury, cruelty, and pleasures that harm others.
5. They prize mental pleasures and bodily health, rejecting needless self-denial unless it benefits others.
6. The speaker describes their productive farming, rapid acquisition of Greek, valued books, and successful experiments in papermaking and printing.
