Read the excerpt from utopia by sir thomas more. so it is everywhere the common course of life amongst all mechanics except the utopians: but they, dividing the day and night into twenty-four hours, appoint six of these for work, three of which are before dinner and three after; they then sup, and at eight o’clock, counting from noon, go to bed and sleep eight hours: the rest of their time, besides that taken up in work, eating, and sleeping, is left to every man’s discretion. how does the author’s use of deductive reasoning further his argument? it suggests why people in utopia would make an efficient workforce. it allows for an understanding of what life in utopia would look like. it demonstrates the importance of choice in living a productive life. it provides a framework for a schedule that people generally follow.
