some careful and intelligent hand did not charge itself with the collection of all these valueless relics, to reconstruct out of them a mass susceptible of being reworked and made fit for consumption again. This important task evidendy belongs anlOng the attributes of the miser . ... Here the character and mission of the miser perceptibly rise: the pinch-penny becomes a ragpicker, a salvage operator . ... The hog is the great salvager of namre; he fattens at nobody's expense:' A. Toussenel, L'Esprit des betes (Paris, 1884), pp. 249-250." [W7a,4] Marx characterizes the insufficiency of Fourier, who conceived " a particular form of labor-Iahor leveled down, parceled, and therefore unfree-. .. as the source of private property's perniciousness and of its existence in estrangement from men," instead of denouncing lahor as such, as the essence of private property. Karl Marx, De,. historische Materialismll.s, ed. Landshut and Mayer (Leipzig < 1932» , vol. 1, p. 292 ("NationalOkonomie und Philosophie").l 6 [W7a,5] Fourierist pedagogy, like the pedagogy of Jean Paul, should be studied in the context of anthropological materialism. In this, the role of anthropological materialism in France should be compared with its role in Germany. It might mm out that there, in France, it was the human collective that stood at the center of interests, while here, in Germany, it was the human individual. We must note, as well, that anthropological materialism attained sharper definition in Germany because its opposite, idealism, was more clearly delineated over there. The history of anthropological materialism stretches, in Germany, from Jean Paul to Keller (passing through Georg Buchner and Gutzkow) ; in France, dle socialist utopias and the physiologies are its precipitate. [W8,1] Madame de Cardoville, a grande dame in Le luif errant < The Wandering lew>, is a Fourierist. [W8,2] hl cOlmection with Fourierist pedagogy, one should perhaps investigate the dialectic of the example: although the example as model (in the moralists' sense) is pedagogically worthIess, if not disastrous, the gestic example can become the object of a controllable and progressively assimilable imitation, one that possesses the greatest significance. [W8,3] "La Phalange, journal de la science sociale (1836-184,3), which appears three times a week, . .. will fade from the scene only when it can cede its place to a daily, La Democratie pacifique (1843-1851). Here, the main idea ... is 'the organization of labor' through the association." Charles Benoist, " L'Homme de 184,8," part 2, ReVILe des deux monde, (February 1, 1914), p. 645. [W8,4] From Neuement's discussion of Fourier: "'In creating the present world, God reserved the right to change its outward aspect through subsequent creations. These creations are eighteen in number. Every creation is brought about by a conjunction of austral fluid and boreal fluid." The later creations, following on the first,
. can eventuate only in Harmony. Alfred Nettement, Histoire de la litterature fmnaise sous le gouvernement dejuillet (Paris, 1859), vol. 2, p. 58. [W8,S] "According to him , souls transmigrate from hody to hody, and even &: from world to world. Each planet possesses a soul, which will go to animate some it other, superior planet, carrying with it, as it does so, the souls of those people who have inhabited it. It is thus that, before the end of our planet earth (which is supposed to endure 81,000 years), the human souls upon it will have gone through 1,620 existences; they will have lived a total of 27,000 years on earth and 54,000 years on another planet. . .. In the exertions of its earliest infancy, the earth was struck by a putrid fever that eventually spread to the moon, which died as a result. But once organized in Harmony, the earth will resuscitate the moon." Nettement, flistoire de la litteraturefraru;aise sous Ie gouvernement de juillet, vol. 2, pp. 57, 59. [W8,6] The Fourierist on the subject of aviation: " The buoyant aerostat . .. is the chariot of fire, which . .. respects above all the works of God; it does not need to aggrade the valleys or tunnel through mountains in imitation of the murderous locomotive, which the speculator has dishonored." A. Toussenel, Le Monde des oiseaux, vol. 1 (Paris, 1853), p. 6. [W8a,1] "It is impossible . .. that zebras, quaggas, hemiones, and pygmy ponies, who know they are destined to serve as steeds for the children's cavalry of the future, are sympathetic with the policy of our statesmen, who treat as merely utopian the equestrian institutions where these animals are to hold a position of honor . ... The lion likes nothing better ... than having its nails trimmed, provided it is a pretty girl that wields the scissors." A. Toussenel, Le Monde des oiseaux: Ornithologie passionnelle, vol. 1 (Paris, 1853), pp. 19-20. The author sees in woman the intermediary he tween human and animal. [W8a,2] Memorable letter from Victor Cousin to Jean Joumet, in response to writings sent birn by the latter. It is dated October 23, 1843, and concludes : "Wben you are suffering, think not of social regeneration but of God, ... who did not create man only for happiness but for an end quite otherwise sublime;' The prefacer adds: "We would have consigned this little anecdote to oblivion, had not this poor letter . . . , a true masterpiece of perfect ignorance, summed up ... the political science ... of a coterie that, for the past twenty-one years, has overseen ... the fortunes of our country." JeanJournet, Paesies et chants harmaniens (Paris, 1857), pp. xxvi-xxvii (editor's preface). [W8a,3] 44The history of the . .. human raees on Jupiter and Saturn teaches us t.hat. civilization ... is on its way to guarantism ... hy virtue of the political equality between man and woman, and from guarantism to Harmony through the recognition of the superiority of woman." A. Toussenel, Le Monde des oiseaux, vol. 1 (Paris, 1853), p. 131. [W8a,4]
