First edition.
During the 1840s, Fourierists led by Victor Considerant engaged in extensive written propaganda, especially through the Society for the Propagation and Realization of Fourier's Theory, aiming to inspire individuals to initiate or fund experiments in communal living. The Sociétaire Bookstore in Paris produced a vast amount of literature. Catalogs detailing their publications with summaries were frequently released, often accompanying other works. The 1842 catalog serves as an illustration.

Colonie Sociétaire de Condé-Sur-Vesgre.

More Details >
850 €
First edition.
Rare document on the creation of the colony of Condé-sur-Vesgre.
The societary colony of Condé-sur-Vesgre was the first Fourierist achievement and the only one in which Fourier participated. The initiative was launched in the second half of 1832 by Alexandre Baudet-Dulary with the support of the Fourierist newspaper "Le Phalanstère" which would relay the calls for funds.
Our publication presents the project for the creation of the society that would manage the colony. It presents the statutes of the future society and an approximate estimate of the expenses. The designated managers are Devay, Just Muiron, Victor Considérant, and A. Transon. The role assigned to Charles Fourier is "director of the societary mechanism".
This society will be created during the year 1833 with the installation of the first settlers on the site of Condé-sur-Vesgre. The colony, after many difficulties, is still in activity almost two hundred years later.

De la Recherche de la Vérité.

During the publication of this treatise (first ed. : 1675), the first published by Malebranche, his contemporaries especially retained Cartesianism: dualism of thought and extension, rule of evidence, method using the Regulae of Descartes, influence of Dioptrics and the Treatise on Man, Cartesian physics. Even the concept of the soul, a simple occasion for the movements of the body, could be drawn from the Cartesians La Forge and Cordemoy. Malebranche still appears as one of many Cartesians trying to relate to Augustinianism. The break with Cartesianism came with the publication of Enlightenments on the Search for Truth (1678). Until then centered on man, Malebranche's thought here operates a theocentric reversal. From now on, everything starts from God. All physical relationships, like all moral values, are only the expression of an immutable Order.
Many figures in the text.

[Union agricole d'Afrique].
Ensemble de Documents et brochures sur le phalanstère fouriéristes d'Algerie.
s.l., s.n., 1845-1850.
More Details >
2500 €
The project of the Agricultural Union of Africa was born from the meeting of French colonial interests in Algeria and the Fourierist desire to found a community following the phalansterian principles. These interests came together in Lyon where there was an active Fourierist group with the meeting of Captain Gautier, an officer of the Army of Africa, with Miss Aimée Beuque, a convinced Fourierist.
The project of a civil joint stock company running a colony in Algeria took shape during the year 1845 and the Agricultural Union of Africa was founded in December 1845. Its goal was to experiment with the Fourierist principle of associating capital, labor and talent.
It has thirty-three members including the members of the organizing committee: Fleury Imbert, François Barrier, Felix Beuque and Sister (Aimée), Captain Gautier...
On November 8, 1846, a royal ordinance authorized the Lyon Committee to found a Civil Colonization Society on the condition that it welcome three hundred European families, at least two-thirds of whom must be of French origin. Louis Philippe allocates three thousand hectares to the Union at the foot of the hills of the Sig Valley, eighteen kilometers from the sea, on the road from Oran to Mascara.
The first settlers will settle in Algeria during the year 1847. Gradually losing the Fourierist essence of the beginning, the Sig colony will nevertheless last until the end of the 19th century.
Inthis volume, are bound a series of documents from the organizing committee of the Agricultural Union of Africa:
- Draft Statutes of a Civil Society, For the Exploitation of a Rural Property in Algeria, Lyon, Dumoulin, 1845. 23 pages.
First edition.
One of the first documents relating to the Union. It presents the draft statutes of the company before its foundation, which would not take place until the end of 1845. The document also presents the members of the organizing committee and the list of the first subscribers.
- The Agricultural Union of... Civil joint-stock company for the exploitation of a rural property in Africa, Lyon, Boitel, [1845]. 16 pages.
First edition.
Work of the organizing committee from its formation until October 25, 1845. The end of the document gives the model of the power of attorney to be sent to subscribers for the founding of the company.
- Letter of application for membership, November 1845. 3 pages
Document in civil character probably sent to the subscribers who, on the eve of the filing of the application for a concession, seek to extend the number of concessionaires from ten to twelve people.
"ten to twelve people capable by their wealth and their position of lending us effective support."
- Plan with caption, (nd). (2) folding plates.
Probably the plan of the colony as it was planned in the early days of the project. It shows an enclosure of 400x300 meters grouping together residential and manufacturing buildings.
- Contract of enrollment of associated workers, Lyon, December 15, 1846. 2 pages.
Exceptional document presenting the contract that linked the Union with the associated workers.
Our copy is completed and countersigned by Félix Beuque (member of the board of directors) and Jacob Held, a 36-year-old ploughman and shoemaker from Geneva. Jacob Held commits for one year and becomes a shareholder with 50 francs.
- Pay scale for associated workers and Supplies scale, (nd). (2) pages.
Fascinating document for understanding the internal economy of the Union. Each worker is both an employee and an associate, the salary scale is defined for all hierarchical levels.
It should be noted that while women can claim a maximum of 70% of a man's salary, they can nevertheless access the position of special director of the 1st class (highest position after the General Director). We also see that a salary of 25 francs per year is provided for children from 0 to 5 years old...
On the back, we find the rate for accommodation and full board (with different meal and accommodation options).
Thus, a Worker's Assistant (14th class) will receive 504 francs per year and will spend at least 360 francs on food and 20 francs on accommodation.
- Union Agricole d'Afrique: Extract from the statutes..., Lyon, Boitel, (nd). (4) pages.
Extracts from the statutes and subscription form published after the founding of the civil society.

He created a "Fourierist" bank which would notably finance the Texas Phalanstery.

First edition.
Pierre de Besse, preacher from the beginning of the 17th century was inspired by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, whose legend, peddled by Diogenes Laerce, said that he was perpetually in tears in front of the fate of men to draw from it a Christian Heraclitus desperate for the sins of the Men.
He will publish 3 years later the "Christian Democrite" showing a hilarious Democrite in front of the world as it is.
These two books did a lot to popularize the archetypes of a weeping Heraclitus and a laughing Democritus, which can be found in many works of art throughout the 17th century. One thinks in particular of the "Weeping Philosopher" of Rubens painted around 1636, or the Democrites of Velasquez and Rembrandt.

Five years before the famous "Proletarians of all countries unite" by K. Marx, Flora Tristan wrote: "Workers, you are weak and unhappy because you are divided; unite; unity is strength"
One of the first feminists of the social movement, she also affirms that woman is the proletarian of the proletarian.
