First french edition.

William Godwin (1756-1836) is a British philosopher, precursor of anarchism and inspiration for the utilitarian movement.
This book is part of the controversy between Godwin and Malthus about the principle of population. For Malthus, the mathematical growth of the human population occurs at a rate greater than that of access to resources.
For Godwin, the "improvement of Man" (in fact technical progress) will make it possible to compensate for population growth, he says:
"if the earth, in all its habitable parts, could be made as fertile as China, it would be enough to feed a population of nine thousand million people" (volume II, p.212).

A debate that is still current.

First edition.
The Annales de la Société des soi-disans Jésuites is a collection of historical acts, documents, and letters that was published between 1764 and 1771 to denounce the place of the Order of Jesuits in French society. The collection was produced by the Abbé Jean-Antoine Gazaignes and consists of five volumes (Last is missing in our copy). It contains information about the founding of the order, its doctrines, its activities, and its various political movements. The Annales are of great importance for understanding the history of the Jesuits and their influence on French society. The Annales have also served as the basis for many historical works and studies on the Jesuits and their role in French history.

First edition.
Zoé Charlotte de Gamond (1806-1854), Belgian feminist, disciple of Charles Fourier whose work she became a commentator. In September 1841, she bought a monastery in Burgundy, the famous abbey of Cîteaux, in order to establish a phalanstery there, the theoretical aspect of which she had imagined in this work. In particular, she gave a feminist tint to the theories of Charles Fourier. Fourier's "Harmony" was supposed to regenerate the condition of Women. This phalanstery, which operated until 1846, was a financial disaster. The De Gamond couple, thus ruined, returned to Brussels where they led a life of embarrassment and deprivation.

First edition.
Third part alone of the four parts that appeared over a period of almost thirty years. The first part appeared in 1831, the last in 1858. The subject, on the border between natural history and philosophy, consists in applying a rigorous analogy between animal forms and human psychology. In the tradition of Lavater, Gall and the physiognomists, the physical configuration of the organ is revealing of personal dispositions. Da Gama Machado was a commander and gentleman of the Royal House of the King of Portugal; he lived surrounded by his birds, which he cherished.

First edition.
Book revised and published by Diderot from a manuscript by Ferdinando Galiani, in which the latter expresses reservations about the free trade in grain adopted by the edicts of 1763 and 1764.
Galiani is indeed opposed to the export of wheat outside France, while French regions may still experience periods of famine.
This is one of the first criticisms of nascent economic liberalism.
What will be worth to him to be strongly attacked by the spirit of time, Turgot judging that the step of Galiani is representative of the stubborn refusal, and obscurantist, of the scientific novelty.

First edition.
Louise Marie Gagneur (1832-1902) was a French writer and feminist activist.
Essay inspired by the publication of Travail by Emile Zola. Gagneur celebrates Zola's novel, which highlights Fourierist ideas "with a power of eloquence, a depth, a philosophical scope, a mastery that make this incomparable book a glorious and victorious stage in our literary, philosophical and social movement" (p. 12).

Marie-Louise Gagneur believed in the transformative power of the intellectual production to which she contributed: "The transformation can therefore occur today without shock, without revolution, by the FORCE OF THE IDEA alone" (Droit au bonheur, p. 12).

Antoine Fusy, Jesuit and professor at the Sorbonne is at the beginning of the 17th century in breach of ban with his order. The Jesuit preachers indeed defended the merits of tyrannicide, which was an undisguised threat to the King of France who protected the Protestants of the kingdom.
While Henri IV was assassinated by a Catholic fanatic, Fusy went into exile in Geneva in 1619 and converted to Protestantism.
He wrote there this very violent pamphlet towards the Roman Church, whose style is sometimes quite raw.

Rare offprint of an article published in the journal Champagne catholique.
This journal was created at the end of the July Monarchy to defend moral and religious interests against the anticlerical political groups that were beginning to organize. Here the article targets Fourier's system, of which Victor Considérant was then the best-known promoter.
"His ideas of association are destined, without doubt, to play an important role in the future developments of civilization; we must deplore that Fourier has cast disfavor on them, by associating them with the deepest immorality." (p.35).

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.

Le Sept Avril à Besançon. 

Besançon, J. Bonvalot, 1847.
More Details >
Sold

First edition.
The political banquet was born during the French Revolution. In 1789, in all cities of France, the open-air banquet, in the streets, was a new form of sociability to affirm patriotic enthusiasm and the unity of the Nation. During these civic meals, new liberties were celebrated.

Under the reign of Louis-Philippe, the political banquet was reborn as a means of circumventing the ban on political gatherings imposed by the reactionary government of Minister Guizot.

Fourierists, after the death of Charles Fourier in 1837, adopted this practice and met each year to celebrate his birthday (April 7, 1772) with a banquet. In Paris, in the provinces, and abroad, numerous banquets were thus organized, during which speakers took turns extolling the social theories of their master and proposing many toasts.

In 1847 and 1848, this subversive function of the banquet spread to all political factions and gained momentum. In February 1848, the prefect of police in Paris banned a banquet. Following this ban, a protest demonstration turned into an insurrection within a few days, bringing an end to the July Monarchy.

This account of the Besançon banquet in 1847 includes toasts by Just Muiron: "To the genius of Fourier!", Ledoux: "To the organization of labor!", Renaud: "To the confusion of false wisdom!", Vuillemin: "To all the benefactors of humanity!".

Théorie des Quatre Mouvemens et des Destinées Générales. Prospectus et Annonce de la Découverte.

3500 €

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.

The last and most enigmatic of Charles Fourier's books. First volume (on 2) only.
