Kirk Watson

0/5 ( ratings)

Pieter Corneliszoon Plockhoy bridges a gap between Christian communism and the early socialists. A fervent egalitarian reformer of Church and state, he first theorized and then founded an intentional community in America in the 1660s.

Plockhoy was a pioneering libertarian, socialist, and secularist, who influenced his contemporaries, the radical Enlightenment thinkers Spinoza and Franciscus Van den Enden.

This eBook contains all of Plockhoy's writings, including:

-"The Way to the Peace and Settlement of these Nations"
-"A Way Propounded to Make the Poor in these and Other Nations Happy"
-"An Invitation to the Aforementioned Society or Little Common-Wealth"
-"A Brief and Concise Plan"
