Summary
Saint-Simon occupies a surprisingly central place in the narrative of what has become the socialist tradition. He does so primarily because he, along with his contemporaries Charles Fourier and Robert Owen, were singled out by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the Communist Manifesto as representatives of ‘critical-utopian socialism and communism’.
