Traité de l'association domestique-agricole (T1) (+) Sommaire du traité de l'association domestique-agricole ou attraction industrielle. 

Bossange, Paris, 1822.

First edition.
Copy signed by the author.
This treatise was intended, in the author's mind, to replace his theory of the four movements, the publication of which had met with little success.
He describes in a more practical way the phase of Harmony, in fact, it is the Rule (in the monastic sense) of his Phalanstery. Man is total there: cultivating his vegetable garden in the morning, composing poems in the afternoon, craftsman in the evening. Life is very finely regulated there: constant activity, dietetics (which he calls Gastrosophy), sexuality. Among the Fourierists, the union is free, each lustful preference accepted, but taxonomic passion of the moment, each sexual taste is classified, subdivided, organized... Fourier thus defines seventy-six types of cuckolding...
With the Supplement to the foreword paginated LXV-LXXX which is found in few copies.

"Brand-new views on the teaching of one of the positive sciences, formerly cultivated, that Fourier was most fond of. The procedures he indicates, and particularly that of the Theory of Causes in Creation, are related to his system of Universal Unity. This piece is very curious. " (notice from the 'catalogue raisonné de l'école sociétaire', 1842).

First edition.
The last and most enigmatic of Charles Fourier's books.
Fourierist exegetes see the beginnings of a planetary ecology, Fourier inventing a practical ecosophy source of wealth and abundance.

Copy which was bound for François Barrier, central personality of the Fourierist movement, he adhered to the Fourierist doctrine in 1843. He was, in 1845, one of the founders of the Phalansterian project of the African Agricultural Union and became the main leader and financial support from the Lyon School of Society in the 1850s.

In 1864, he left Lyon and his career as a surgeon to go to Paris to reorganize the School of Society and devote himself to writing Fourierist treatises.

First edition.
Louis Abel de Bonafous, a Jesuit priest, became a writer when his order was banned in 1773, under the name of Abbé Fontenay.
The Antilogies are a collection of contradictory arguments, often used to demonstrate paradoxes or to question certain dogmatic assertions. This work is typical of the way in which certain authors of the 18th century, particularly during the Enlightenment, questioned established truths and rigid systems of thought.
The Antilogies had a certain influence in the philosophical circles of its time, because of its innovative approach to logic and theology.

In this work, the author makes a biting satire of the government, religion and morals of the Spanish. King Charles III complained to the French government and threatened to close the entrance to his kingdom to all French people. Parliament ordered, in February 1786, that a copy of "Voyage en Espagne" would be delivered to the flames by the hand of the executioner. This auto-da-fé delighted de Langle who had written: "My work will surely be reduced to ashes: so much the better! (...) It brings good luck; the public likes burnt works.".

First edition.
Work whose collection title is "Saint-Simonian Religion", a curious quasi-sectarian economic movement led by Prosper Enfantin, under the honorary title of Supreme Father. This ideological movement, originally based on the socio-economic and political doctrine of Claude-Henri de Rouvroy de Saint-Simon, promotes confidence in technical progress, the certainty that it is in a moral industry that the condition of happiness, freedom and emancipation resides. Under the influence of Prosper Enfantin, the movement becomes a religion, with some attempts at communities.

Bound after another compilation attributed to Prosper Enfantin:
