Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of New Harmony, Indiana, a fascinating site of utopian experiments in the early 19th century. The author guides readers through the history of this unique location, starting with the German religious community of the Rappites, who sought to build a society based on shared labor and celibacy. The book then shifts focus to the more well-known Owenite experiment, spearheaded by Robert Owen, a prominent social reformer. The book explores Owen's vision of a community based on communal living and education, and highlights the intellectual and scientific fervor that drew scholars and scientists to New Harmony. The author analyzes the reasons for the eventual failure of these utopian endeavors and the legacy they left behind. The book examines how the ideals of universal education, equal rights for women, and scientific advancement were all put into practice at New Harmony, even if the community ultimately did not reach its intended goals. This insightful book reveals how the failed utopian experiments at New Harmony ultimately contributed to important social and intellectual advancements in the United States.
