FORMATION OF LITERARY APPROACH TO THE CREATIVE HERITAGE OF THOMAS MORE IN THE ANALOGICAL GENRE

Summary/Abstract: The relevance of the work is determined by the fact that the legacy of T. Mora is distinguished as the basis for constructing existing ideas about the possibility of a utopian society, Utopia is created on the basis of the principles of rationality, it is an ideal, constructed by the human mind system of its relations with other people. Nevertheless, on the other hand, utopia cannot be fully comprehended by the human mind, because individual mechanisms of its functioning are overlooked, and some concepts, such as happiness, are captured on an intuitive level. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that the authors reveal the principles that rationalism in politics in utopia occurs at two levels: ontological and epistemological. In this regard, rationality in utopia is approaching its utilitarian and pragmatic understanding. The authors show that it is necessary to pay attention primarily to the fact that human rationality is limited, and the rationality of utopia (in its ontological manifestation) is absolute. In this regard, the creative heritage of T. Mora is proposed to be considered through modern theories of the development of society. The article notes that such a vastness of utopia in the end becomes one of the reasons for the impossibility of putting it into practice. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that the possibility of creating and forming a holistic picture of utopian development based on the analysis of the literary heritage of T. Mora is revealed in the framework of modern socio-political concepts.
