Description

Explore the fascinating history of Victorian London through the lens of the British Positivists. Moralising Space: The Utopian Urbanism of the British Positivists, 1855-1920 offers a deep look into a group of citizen-sociologists who sought to reshape the world. Following the philosophy of Auguste Comte, these individuals combined the modern science of sociology with the republican Religion of Humanity. This study investigates how these followers practiced their beliefs to attempt the creation of a global network of 500 utopian city-states. While much has been written about Victorian London, the specific work and influence of the British Positivists on modern sociology and town planning has remained largely unexamined in full-length studies. This book fills that gap, providing a detailed account of their efforts to break up the British Empire through urban design and social science. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of urbanism, sociology, and the social structures of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
