Excerpt from Associated Homes: A Lecture
The account here given is taken from a work by M. Godin, entitled "Solutions Sociales," supplemented by information kindly furnished me by a relation and intimate friend of M. Godin, resident at Guise, to whom this sketch was submitted. Entire confidence may, therefore, be placed in the accuracy of the statements contained in it.
Jean Baptist Andre Godin, the founder of the institution described in the following pages, was born at Esqueheries, a village in the department of l'Aisne, in France, on the 26th January, 1817. His father carried on the trade of a locksmith. He received the elements of education in the village school, among a hundred and forty other children, crowded into an ill-ventilated room. As he tells us, they passed their time principally in playing or receiving the blows of the master's rod. Moved already by the genius of social reform, he would busy himself with the thought, "If I were the master I would teach my scholars better than is done here." But this idea of becoming a teacher, in order to reform the methods of instruction, soon gave place to the ambition of setting a noble example, by devoting himself to the manual arts. Thus animated, at the age of eleven-and-a-half years, though of a feeble constitution, he began to labour as an ironworker at bis father's forge, as well as to aid his parents in agricultural operations, with an energy often beyond his strength.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive guide to cooperative communities explores the advantages of shared homes as a means to promote human flourishing and improve quality of life. At the heart of the book's examination of community organizations is the Familistà re at Guise, a revolutionary associated home built by the visionary industrialist Jean-Baptiste Andrà Godin. Using this real-world model as a case study, the author presents a compelling argument that associated homes, like Godin's Familistà re, provide viable, practical solutions to the challenges of creating a more just and equitable society. The book is framed around a philosophical examination of the relationship between work, well-being, and human potential. By exploring the historical and literary context surrounding the concept of associated homes, the author demonstrates how these living arrangements offer a path to enabling the human spirit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
