Utopia - Derivation of utopia
The term utopia was coined by Thomas More as the title of his Latin book De Optimo Reipublicae Statu deque Nova Insula Utopia (circa 1516), known more commonly as Utopia. You can read the original text here, in the wikisource.
Utopia - Etymology
The term "utopia"" is combined from 2 Greek words - "not" (ou) and "place" (topos), thus meaning "nowhere" or more literally, "not-place". The word "utopia" was created to suggest two Greek neologisms simultaneously: outopia (no place) and eutopia (good place). In this original context, the word carried none of the modern connotations associated with it.
Utopia - Related terms
- Anti-utopia questions the moral or practical validity of utopias
- Dystopia is a negative utopia.
- Eutopia is a positive utopia, roughly equivalent to the regular use of the word "utopia".
- Heterotopia, the "other place", with its real and imagined possibilities (a mix of "utopian" escapism and turning virtual possibilities into reality) - example: cyberspace.
- Ourtopia combines the English 'our' with the Greek 'topos' to give 'our place' - the nearest thing to a utopian planet actually attainable,
Other subcategories include Arcadias and Cockaygnes. Ruth Levitas is one who has developed such a categorisation.
