Saint-Simonianism

Saint-Simonianism

Saint-Simonianism was a French socialist movement of the first half of the nineteenth century. The movement is named after Claude Henri de Rouvroy, comte de Saint-Simon who promoted ideas of utopian socialism but after his death, the movement that formed around his ideas became increasingly extreme in its religious views. [Anon.] (2001a) "Saint-Simon, Henri de: His movement and its influence", "Encyclopaedia Britannica", Deluxe CDROM edition]

The movement was centered around the "École Polytechnique". After roughly 1830, the Saint-Simonians led by Barthélemy Prosper Enfantin formed an increasingly religiously-minded [Anon.] (2001b) "Enfantin, Barthélemy-Prosper", "Encyclopaedia Britannica", Deluxe CDROM edition] Messianic group, before being banned by the authorities in 1832.Fact|date=August 2007

Saint-Simonianism had some influence in England, particularly among the followers of Joanna Southcott who shared the Saint-Simonian idea that a female messiah would come soon.Fact|date=August 2007
