The Boston Union of Associationists, an affiliate of the American Union of Associationists (founded May 1846), was devoted to the propagation of Fourierism, a philosophy developed by François Marie Charles Fourier (1772–1837), a French utopian socialist and philosopher. This Boston Union was organized on 30 November 1846 and operated steadily until 1851. The Union divided itself into groups, notably the Group of Practical Affairs, Group of Indoctrination, and Group of Social Culture. Some members of this organization were also participants in their sister society, the Boston Religious Union of Associationists, as well as the Brook Farm Community, which was a transcendentalist Utopian experiment in West Roxbury, Massachusetts.
