Summary "Socialism Exposed" by Joseph Mather is a critical examination of socialism, particularly targeting the theories of Robert Owen, a prominent socialist thinker of the early 19th century. Written in the mid-19th century, this book is a polemic that delineates the author's arguments against the foundational concepts of the socialist movement, publicizing fears regarding its implications for morality and human nature. The central theme revolves around a defense of Christian values in opposition to the secular and materialistic principles proposed by socialists. In this work, Mather articulates strong objections to Owen's ideas, arguing that they undermine human responsibility and moral accountability. He posits that Owen's belief system turns individuals into mere products of their environment, stripping away their dignity as rational beings endowed with free will. Mather critiques the lack of empirical evidence backing Owen’s claims about human nature and highlights the failure of Owen's social experiments in practice, particularly referencing Owen's New Harmony community in America, which quickly disintegrated. This book serves as both a defense of Christian doctrine and a warning against the perceived dangers of socialist ideologies, emphasizing the significance of spiritual beliefs in achieving true happiness and moral clarity.
