Publisher's Synopsis

""A New View of Society"" is a collection of essays written by Robert Owen, a prominent social reformer and industrialist in the early 19th century. The book focuses on Owen's ideas about the formation of human character and how these ideas can be applied to create a better society. Owen believed that human character was shaped by one's environment and experiences, rather than by innate qualities. He argued that by creating a society based on cooperation and mutual support, rather than competition and individualism, people could be transformed into more compassionate and productive individuals. The book includes essays on a variety of topics, including education, religion, government, and economics. Owen argues that traditional institutions and practices are outdated and need to be reformed in order to create a more just and equitable society. Overall, ""A New View of Society"" is a seminal work in the history of social reform and a testament to Owen's vision for a better world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
