Edward Carpenter

    Edward Carpenter war ein englischer sozialistischer Dichter und Philosoph, der sich für sexuelle Freiheit einsetzte und eine Vorreiterrolle in der Schwulenbewegung einnahm. Sein Werk untersucht kritisch die Zivilisation als eine gesellschaftliche Krankheit, die menschliche Gesellschaften schwächt, und schlägt als Heilmittel eine Rückkehr zur Natur und die Entwicklung des inneren Wesens vor. Seine Gedanken, beeinflusst vom Hinduismus und als 'mystischer Sozialismus' bezeichnet, ähneln frühen psychologischen und soziologischen Theorien des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts über gesellschaftlichen Druck und dessen Auswirkungen auf die psychische Gesundheit des Einzelnen. Carpenter war eine Schlüsselfigur des britischen Sozialismus, und seine philosophischen und künstlerischen Einsichten beeinflussten maßgeblich bedeutende Schriftsteller wie D. H. Lawrence und E. M. Forster.
