Abstract
Thomas More, speaking through Raphael Hythlodaeus, ends his description of the institutions, manners and customs of the utopians saying: «Now I have described to you, as exactly as I could, the structure of that commonwealth which I judge not merely the best but the only one which can rightly claim the name of a commonwealth» (1964, 146). What did Raphael see in the island of Utopia as if to judge not merely the best but the only commonwealth? Did he see a civitas libera where people enjoyed individual freedoms as one of the profits to be derived from living in a well-ordered society?
