1962505862Harvard University Press 1962. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. FINE/Very Good. xiv 349pp. B/W frontispiece portraits of all five prophets. 8vo sewn binding in green cloth black stamped lettering. Exceedingly clean and sharp with fresh pages and tight binding; DJ price clippeda bit toned and rubbed around the edges. 'A study of five French thinkers and a school - friends disciples enemies — whose works evoke the image of a new age of prophecy. Tur-got Condorcet Saint-Simon and the Saint-Simonians Fourier and Comte form an unbroken chain of intellectual transmission from the Enlightenment through the first half of the nineteenth century. These men were crisis phil-osophers system-makers moralists magnificent obsessives intoxicated with the future. Mr. Manuel has combined psychological portraiture with philosophical and historical analysis. His fresh reading of underestimated thinkers is based on manuscripts as well as more familiar sources suggesting new insights. Historians of Marxism will be particularly interested in his interpretation of the social doctrines and philosophies of history; Freudians in his exploration of new attitudes toward love among the Saint-Simonians Fourier and Comte; scientists in his description of the imaginative projects of Turgot and Condorcet; students of the varieties of religious experience in his treatment of the Saint-Simonian cult and the Positivist religion. From the DJ flap. 'Each of these figures is ac corded a highly sophisticated and compact biographical treat- ment and subsequently personal details are appropriately in jected into the unfolding tale of the intellectual contribution of the thinker. As Professor Manuel proceeds he compares and contrasts the thinker of the chapter with the men already intro- duced and foreshadows the approaching 'prophet.' The historical context in which the prophets lived is expertly insinuated; so too the historical impact of the five men on the thought and practice of our own age. If Professor Manuel's plan appears highly ambitious it must be immediately stated that its execu tion has been eminently successful.' Donald J. Harvey review in Political Science Quarterly.

188338901Breslau: Henry Hall. Good with no dust jacket. 1883. Leather. B&W Illustrations; Herein is the first mathematical study of heat diffusion originally presented as a paper to the Academie des Sciences in 1807. Based his reasoning on Newton's law of cooling namely that the flow of heat between two adjacent molecules is proportional to the extremely small difference of their temperatures. Here were three important contributions in this work one purely mathematical two essentially physical. In mathematics Fourier claimed that any function of a variable whether continuous or discontinuous can be expanded in a series of sines of multiples of the variable. Though this result is not correct without additional conditions Fourier's observation that some discontinuous functions are the sum of infinite series was a breakthrough. Fourier was famous for being the first to recognize and describe the greenhouse effect causing global warming in 1824-1827 This is the 1822 edition reprinting by Henry Hall in Berlin in 1883 itself a fairly scarce item. Covers detached. Textblock is solid and clean. 2 full page plates in the back dsiplaying 20 figures numerous equations and charts throughout. Large Paper. French Language. No markings.

Schaer G. Claeys and L.T.Sargent Utopia The Search for the Ideal Society in the Western World 2000 pp. 208 ff. Fourier was a radical thinker who created a plan for an ideal society. He respected the industry and intelligence of children acknowledged the validity of same sex relationships and androgyny and coined the term feminism. <br> Theorie des quatres mouvements Theory of four movements first edited in 1808 and reworked up to its final draft of 1841 is the first fundamental work in which Fourier declares his objectives for a world government and economy administered by Passionate Attraction "a theory of universal Harmony that springs from the ruins of uncertain sciences" the only possibility in his terms of transforming society "remediating everything from the most scandalous social disorders to poverty". Going against morals and ideologies that preach poverty and mediocrity Fourier defends opulence luxury gluttony and sensuality for all. He argued that a natural social order exists corresponding to Newton's ordering of the physical universe and that both evolved in eight ascending periods. In harmony the highest stage man's emotions would be freely expressed. That stage could be created he contended by dividing society into phalanges. <br> The phalange in Fourier's conception was to be a cooperative agricultural community bearing responsibility for the social welfare of the individual characterized by continual shifting of roles among its members. He felt that phalanges would distribute wealth more equitably than under capitalism and that they could be introduced into any political system including a monarchy. The individual member of a phalange was to be rewarded on the basis of the total productivity of the phalange. <br><br> A Leipzig [Lyon: Peizin] hardcover
