First edition.
Édouard de Pompéry (1812-1895), French political journalist, publicist and essayist. He worked to bring together the work of the Freemason lodges and the theories of Charles Fourier.
This work was the subject of a fierce polemic with the editors of La Phalange (the journal of the Fourierists of the First Circle). The controversy centered on the notion of free will and the ability of each individual to act or not to act on the course of things. Pompéry was accused of promoting a false doctrine, under the guise of societal theory.

First edition.
Founding work of Fourierism.
It is in this book that Charles Fourier sets out for the first time his theories on the organization of human societies. Discoveries, which, according to him, is on a par with Newton's theory of gravitation. Fourier defines four phases of universal history (ascending chaos, ascending plenitude, descending plenitude, descending chaos), each phase subdivided into a multitude of times. Humanity is currently going through the fifth time of the first phase: Civilization. The revelation to humanity of "passionate attraction" will bring about Harmony, a phase of bliss in which Fourier's Utopia is realized.
When it was published, no one understood anything about this work, riddled with neologisms, divisions and subdivisions, extravagant considerations... the press passed over the book in silence and Fourier, annoyed that he was not recognized as a Genius, would not publish again for fourteen years.

Rare untouched copy.
