This is the first comparative study of lived Utopian communities in antiquity. The examined communities provide examples of somewhat successful utopian experiments that belie the twentieth century notion that the application of utopian ideals must always lead to dystopia or not work at all.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Notions of utopia in history and literature -- Pythagorean communities in southern Italy -- The Essenes' communities and ideals -- Pachomian communities in Egypt -- Proclus' community -- Summary.
