UTOPIANISM AND UTOPIANS



                   The best known representatives of utopianism are

            Robert Owen and Saint-Simon. They believed that private

            property,  religion  and  middle  class  marriages  were  the

            three vices that should be eradicated.
                   The utopians are basically honest, but their utopian

            lucidity  is  apparent  because  they  had  not  been  applying

            dialectical realism, i.e. super analysis. They positions
            were rather rigid and inflexible.

                   They did not upgrade their philosophy in time and

            space.  Probably  the  time  they  lived  in  did  not  provide
            opportunities to spread up and improve their philosophical

            ideas. Almost all the philosophers, especially the utopians,

            deal  with  private  property  and  analyze  it.  But  their

            approach is not scientific and thorough. Superficial results
            are always erroneous and ill-defined.

                   Throughout history, private property has been the

            driving force for faster development.
