His analytical mathematical method that any continous function can be represented as a sum of sine and cosine curves is here applied to physical problems f.i. his treatment of the warming and cooling of the earth and terrestrial temperatures. The theory of terrestrial temperatures played a central role in Fourier's mathematical physics. </em> unknown

The work which contains "the essence of Fourier's doctrine" David Owen Evans Social Romanticism in France 1830-1848 p. 129. is here presented together with the exceedingly rare complete supplement which was published the following year.It is in the "Traité." that Fourier presents the revolutionary ideas that Marx were to adopt and use in his "Kapital" namely the theory of poverty and exploitation and its relation to the means of production. These same ideas are those that made Marx speak of Fourier's "Gargantuan view of man".It is due to the "Traité de l'association" that Fourier is considered one of the founding fathers of Utopian Socialism being by far the most utopian of them; in his quest for a more equal society he became one of the very first to defend things such as same-sex sexuality and the rights of women - in fact it is Fourier that later coins the word "Feministe" while stating that the position of women in society was equal to that of slaves. Many of his publications preceded those of de Saint-Simon Owens and Marx but his ideas seemed to find greater influence when interpreted by others. Due to the lack of success of the "Traité" Fourier decided the following year to publish the "Sommaire" in an attempt to draw attention to his revolutionary ideas in the "Traité". The "Sommaire" constitutes a short more easily understood summary though also containing some additional new work. The "Sommaire" is often referred to as "The Appendix" to the "Traité" and is considered as belonging to that work. One of the central themes of the work is the thought of "harmony": "The word harmonisme - here fully explained and described for the first time - was first applied to the highest of the passions or motives of humankind; then as a synonym for Harmonie to the ultimate stage of social evolution. The fortunate inhabitants of the perfected world he called harmoniens a word coined in the present work. These words were duly translated by the Fourierites of other lands. Harmony the Harmonic state Harmonization or integral contrasted association were the terms used in the earliest English translations in 1841 to describe Fourier's proposed social system; and Harmonism was employed in the 1850's. The inhabitants were spoken of as Harmonians; and Fourier's philosophy as a whole was sometimes described as the Harmonian Doctrine. Even the word harmonious was called into service as a technical term one English disciple writing of a Harmonious Phalanx." Bestor The Evolution of the Socialist Vocabulary p. 264.Charles Fourier claimed to find inspiration in the exorbitant price of an apple in a Parisian restaurant and he convinced himself that he could design a more efficient way to produce and deliver goods. Unlike other socialists of his day Fourier believed that the pursuit of self interest served as an effective incentive to productive work. He simply did not believe that the market economy of his day successfully mobilized the pursuit of self interest for the common good and he was offended by the low productivity of labor. He argued that most people were employed in deadening jobs that failed to fully utilize their energies and that nearly two thirds of all workers were performing virtually useless tasks. A more efficient economic organization promised enormous benefits to all if only a benefactor capitalist would advance the money necessary to set up the first community or ''phalanstery''.Phalanxes structures called Phalanstères or "grand hotels" were four level apartment complexes where the richest had the uppermost apartments and the poorest occupied the ground floor residence. Wealth was determined by one's job jobs were assigned based on the interests and desires of the individual. There were incentives: jobs people might not enjoy doing would receive higher pay. Fourier considered trade which he associated with Jews to be the "source of all evil" and advocated that Jews be forced to perform farm work in the phalansteries. Furthermore he believed that there were twelve common passions which resulted in 810 types of character it is not clear why exactly this number so the ideal phalanx would have exactly 1620 people. One day there would be six million of these loosely ruled by a world "omniarch" or a World Congress of Phalanxes.Fourier and his contemporaries such as Owen and Saint-Simon were named utopian socialist because of their visions of imaginary ideal societies. Many saw them as not being grounded in the material conditions of society and as reactionary. Despite Fourier's lacking sense of practicality his ideas profoundly influenced all later socialist political and economic though; Not only was he immortalized by Marx "John Stuart Mill shared the same enthusiasm for Fourier as did the German Marx and Engels and the American George Ripley. Fourier's was "the most skillfully combined and with the greatest foresight of objections of all the forms of Socialism." Feuer The Influence of the American Communist Colonies on Engels and Marx P. 466. Fourier's views inspired in the mid 19. century the founding of the communities in Utopia Ohio La Reunion near present-day Dallas Texas and several other communities within the United States of America including the North American Phalanx in Red Bank New Jersey; Brook Farm in West Roxbury Massachusetts and the Community Place and Sodus Bay Phalanx in New York State.In the mid 20th Century Fourier's influence began to rise again among writers appraising socialist ideas outside the Marxist doctrines. After the Surrealists had broken with the French Communist Party André Breton turned to Fourier writing Ode à Charles Fourier in 1947."Traité de l'association domestique-agricole ":Kress C864 Goldsmiths 23694 Einaudi 1960 including both works.

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
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.
