词汇 | fourierism |
词源 | Fourierism. Fourierism, or utopian socialism, has inspired at least 41 experimental communities around the world at one time or another, all of them failures. Developed and introduced by François-Marie-Charles Fourier (1772–1837), a French merchant reacting against his commercial background, the system advocates dividing the world into phalanxes of 1,620 people. Each phalanx would live in a common building, or phalanstery, with separate apartments. One common language, a federal world government, and the encouragement of talent and industry were among other features of this very elaborate scheme, its ultimate goal being a systematic agricultural society. Fourier made a number of converts in France and wasn’t dis- mayed when the only community established in his lifetime failed. His disciples later brought his doctrine to America, where several Fourier communities were established, none of them remaining today. |
