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).
