Meaning:
A phalanstery is a communal living arrangement in which a large group of people live together in a single building or complex, sharing common facilities and resources.
Origin:
The concept of the phalanstery originated with the French utopian socialist Charles Fourier (1772-1837). Fourier believed that society could be improved by creating self-sufficient communities where people lived and worked cooperatively.
In 1832, Fourier founded a phalanstery called "La Réunion" in Condé-sur-Vesgre, France. The community attracted about 200 members, but it disbanded after a few years due to financial and organizational problems.
Other phalansteries were established in the United States and elsewhere, but most of them failed within a few years. However, the concept of communal living continued to influence socialist and utopian movements.
