%0 Journal Article %T UTOPIA AND NEW ATLANTIS, UTOPIA REVISED %A Sandra DRAGOMIR %J Societate £¿i Politic£¿ %D 2011 %I Universitatea de Vest Vasile Goldis din Arad %X This paper is a comparison between two works usuallyascribed to the utopian genre: Thomas More¡¯s Utopia, and Francis Bacon¡¯sNew Atlantis. My major claim is that the two differ mainly in this respect: ifMore¡¯s work is utopian, Bacon¡¯s New Atlantis is only disguised under theclothing of utopian thought. Although Bacon has clearly an ideal ofeducation in mind, through a number of features he completely departsfrom utopian educational programs. %K Utopia %K society %K Baconian %K knowledge %K control %U http://www.uvvg.ro/socpol/images/stories/2011-2/2.%20sandra%20dragomir.pdf
