Edward Carpenter

    Edward Carpenter byl anglický socialistický básník a filozof, který se zasazoval o sexuální svobodu a byl průkopníkem v oblasti práv gayů. Jeho dílo zkoumá civilizaci jako formu nemoci, která oslabuje lidské společnosti, a navrhuje návrat k přírodě a rozvoj vnitřní přirozenosti jako lék. Jeho myšlenky, ovlivněné hinduistickým mysticismem a označované jako 'mystický socialismus', se shodují s ranými psychologickými a sociologickými teoriemi 20. století o tlaku společnosti na jednotlivce a jeho dopadu na duševní zdraví. Carpenter byl klíčovou postavou britského socialismu a jeho filozofické a umělecké názory silně ovlivnily prominentní autory jako D. H. Lawrence a E. M. Forster.
