| Summary |
Published originally as "The Soul of Man Under Socialism," this is not so much a work of sober political analysis, rather it can be summed up as a rhapsodic manifesto on behalf of the Individual. Socialism having deployed technology to liberate the whole of humanity from soul-destroying labor, the State obligingly withers away to allow the free development of a joyful, anarchic hedonism. Far from abandoning the epigram in favour of the slogan, Wilde wittily assails several of his favourite targets: the misguided purveyors of philanthropy, life-denying ascetics of various kinds, the army of the half-educated who constitute themselves the enemies of Art, and those venal popular journalists who cater to them. |
