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

Leipzig [Lyon], [Pelzin], 1808.
More Details >
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.

"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.
