Abstract

Charles Fourier (1772-1837) is an almost forgotten author from a rich tradition of ideas. The so-called utopian socialism – a designation that became popular long after his writings – owes to him the pioneering tones of acidic criticism of bourgeois civilization. Fourier directed his intellectual eccentricity against the pettiness of a world that puts everything and everyone on sale and at low prices, recovering the courage that has been so lacking in these times of accommodation of old ideals and reflux of revolutionary hearts. Fourier, therefore, deserves, for the sake of the utopias to come, a visit that is as critical as it is passionate.
