"James’s rejection of a plan (and a Planner) is like Ivan Karamazov’s. James declares it impossible to accept “a world in which Messrs Fourier’s and Bellamy’s and Morris’ utopias should all be outdone and millions kept permanently happy on the one simple condition that a certain lost soul on the far-off edge of things should lead a life of lonely torture.”"
