Kevin Cole joins Danny and Brett once again to wrap-up the exploration of New Harmony.

Discussed:

  • After its collapse, was New Harmony (or the broader work of Owen) cited by later social planners, philosophers, etc.? In what context?
  • What is the legacy of New Harmony? What impact did the experiment have on American history?
  • The real Illuminati: What was the significance of Pestalozzi’s membership?
  • Where does Kevin’s personal interest in New Harmony come from? What is most interesting/important about New Harmony?
  • How does the experiment at New Harmony compare to the American experiment? Are they necessarily opposed philosophies?
  • Are there any elements of New Harmony that have rightly been incorporated into our society? Are there any other elements we’d like to see incorporated?
