In Walden Two, Frazier confidently reduces The Good Life, a desired state of any utopia, to 5 simple principles:

 

  1. promote, sustain health
  2. minimize unpleasant labor
  3. offer all chances to exercise personal talents and abilities
  4. foster intimate and satisfying personal contacts
  5. provide time for relaxation and rest  (Chap. 20)

 

In the first half of Ecotopia, up through the end of “Women in Power: Politicians, Sex, and Law in Ecotopia,” do Frazier’s 5 principles fully explain what makes and keeps Ecotopia a utopia? Explain your answer with some evidence. 

 

If you’ve read further feel free to draw on the second half of Ecotopia.
