Letter to the High Judge (1803)

Charles Fourier

Chapter 10 in The Origins of Universal Grants, 1983, pp 99-102 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract François Marie Charles Fourier was born on 7 April 1772 in Besançon, France. This highly original utopian socialist presented an elaborate vision of a better, harmonious society in which human passions, instead of being restrained, would have ample opportunities to develop. In his system, production would be organised in phalanstères, where a typical working day would consist of work in different series, according to the preferences of each individual. His main works are Théorie des Quatre Mouvements (1808), Traité de l’Association Domestique-Agricole (1812; republished in 1834 under the title Théorie de l’Unité Universelle), Le Nouveau Monde Industriel et Sociétaire (1829), and La Fausse Industrie (1835–1836). Between 1830 and 1850 his ideas were extremely influential in France, but also in the United States. He died on 10 October 1837, in Paris, France.
