- W2334389718 abstract "From the vantage point of his Concord study in 1844, Ralph Waldo Emerson surveyed the world around him and exclaimed, What a fertility of projects for the salvation of the world!1 Reformers scurried everywhere, calling for the immediate aboli tion of slavery, a return to an agrarian way of life, or the con sumption of unleavened bread as the way to induce the reforma tion of society. There were other reformers, now known as Utopian socialists, who were not satisfied with a single reform and wanted to combine all those ideas into one ultimate ex periment. Their goal was as old as New England; Emerson called it total regeneration. The method which they advo cated was building and settling their own modern versions of John Winthrop's city upon a hill. Here, they believed, they could live life as it should be, with their own churches, schools, and governments, constructed on pure principles, uncontami nated by worldly flaws. Indeed, the problem faced by the Utopian socialists of the 1830s and 1840s had been endemic to New England reform for two hundred years. It was the ques tion as to how a person could live a sinless life in a sinful society, or how to live in the world and not be contaminated by it. Edmund S. Morgan recognized this problem in seventeenth-cen tury Massachusetts and called it the puritan dilemma.2 The Utopian socialist movement of antebellum America was a product of a similar phenomenon, something which the present author will call the perfectionist's dilemma. Utopian communities sprang up everywhere across America. John Humphrey Noyes founded one of the first at Putney, Ver mont, and later began perhaps the most successful one at Oneida, in upstate New York. Massachusetts witnessed the efforts of George Ripley at Brook Farm, a few miles from Winthrop's Boston. Connecticut spawned a community at Wallingford," @default.
