Oneida Community

Japanese: オナイダ・コミュニティ(英語表記)Oneida Community
Oneida Community
The community was founded in Oneida, central New York, in 1848 by John H. Noyes (1811-1886), a religious leader who believed that he would attain perfection through the Second Coming of Christ. It attracted about 300 followers (called Perfectionists), promoted self-governance by renouncing self-interest and mutual criticism, and gained a good reputation for its schools and products. However, its free-love system of "mixed marriages" drew strong criticism, and in 1879 it finally adopted monogamy, and the community was then reorganized into a corporation, effectively disappearing.

キリスト再臨により完全な自己を得たと信じる宗教家のノイズJohn H.Noyes(1811‐86)が,1848年,ニューヨーク州中部のオナイダに建設した共同生活体。約300人の信者(完全主義者perfectionistsと呼ばれる)を集め,利己心の放棄や相互批判によって自治を推進,その学校や生産品の世評も高かった。だがそのフリー・ラブ的な〈複合結婚〉制度が激しい非難を招き,79年,ついに一夫一婦制を採用,ついでコミュニティは株式会社に改組されて,事実上消滅した。
