Discussion
Consider the following :
1) Individuals are not responsible for their actions.
2) Religion makes a man weak.
3) Support for factory system.
4) Introducing National Workshops run by the state.
Which of the above is the feature of Robert Owen's philosophy ?
Answer: B
Statements 1, 2 and 3 describe Owen's philosophy, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
Robert Owen held that a person's character is formed by circumstances and environment, not by the individual, so people are not responsible for what they become; he was strongly critical of organised religion; and as manager of the New Lanark mills he showed that the factory system could be run humanely and profitably.
National Workshops run by the state were the idea of the French socialist Louis Blanc and were set up in Paris in 1848. Every option including statement 4 is therefore wrong.
