Thomas More (Past Masters) by Anthony Kenny

Anthony Kenny explores the life and legacy of Thomas More, a figure whose complex persona weaves together threads of humanism, political philosophy, and religious devotion. More's fervent commitment to his ideals led him down a path of intellectual and moral conflict, particularly in the face of the Tudor dynasty’s shifting tides.

In a compelling narrative, Kenny examines More's role as a statesman and his vision of an ideal society, framing him as not just a man of his time but also a thinker whose ideas resonate through the ages. The book delves into his arrest and execution, portraying More as a martyr for his principles, ultimately igniting reflections on faith, governance, and the pursuit of truth.
