Half-titles present. a few minor interior blemishes but contents generally clean. A very good copy. Second edition of the French anarchist philosopher's notorious thesis together with the first editions of his two succeeding works the "deuxième" and "troisième" memoirs. Qu'est-ce que la propriété was first published in 1840 and shocked its readership with its famous assertion that "all property is theft" which remains widely cited among radical circles to this day. Proudhon himself referred to Qu'est-ce que la propriété as a "diabolical work which frightens even me" Correspondence I p. 296 and he was called to defend himself against insurrection charges at his local court immediately after its publication. The distinguished economist Blanqui 1805-1881 was appointed by the Minister of Justice to read Proudhon's inflammatory treatise and his review of it was partially reproduced by Le Moniteur on 7 September.

Blanqui's verdict helped to lessen the insurrection charges brought against Proudhon and it was only because of his support that Proudhon was permitted to keep his stipend. The second work in this volume is Proudhon's grateful response to Blanqui's review where he reacts to some of the reviewer's objections and offers some moderate revisions to his first work.

In the third work written in response to Victor Considérant's "Défense du Fourierisme" Proudhon warns property owners that the workers' revolution would soon come. Proudhon's pronouncement led to his home and printing office being raided and many copies of the book were seized.

"my idea triumphs I dare say on all accounts"" : letter to his editor

1862réf. 89375Paris Passy : Alphonse Lebègue destinataire 1862. Fine. From Anarchism to Federalism Alphonse Lebègue destinataire Paris Passy 7 novembre 1862 13.9 x 21.1 cm Trois pages sur un bifeuillet Autograph letter by Pierre-Joseph-Marie Proudhon signed and dated 7 November 1862. 3 pages in black ink on a bifolium. Fold of the bifolium weakened without affecting the text. Not included in the correspondence published by Lacroix in 1875. Significant and likely unpublished letter from Proudhon to his publisher Alphonse Lebègue whom he considers ""the cause of liberty in France and independence in Belgium"" in these lines. Proudhon underscores the importance of his ideological struggle for federalism in Europe following the controversial publication of his pamphlet La Fédération et lunité en Italie and a few months before his political testament Du Principe fédératif. He fiercely criticizes his famous adversary Adolphe Thiers Histoire du Consulat et de lEmpire. Since his years in Brussels Proudhon had intended to write a book debunking the Napoleonic myth as promoted in Thiers' work. After permanently leaving Belgium two months earlier Proudhon was now facing reactions from the Belgians to his articles predicting the annexation of their country by Napoleon III - who would supposedly be influenced by the unification of Italy. Against centralized unification Proudhon opposes federalism which according to Jorge Cagiao y Conde is ""the constructive or positive aspect of a body of work that until the end of the 1850s had remained in a negative or critical phase. We must therefore take Proudhon's words seriously: after the demolisher there is indeed a builder. Proudhon's federal theory undoubtedly holds a prominent place in the history of the federal idea. Just as the United States Constitution of 1787 marks a before and after in the history of federalism we can also consider that there is a before and after Proudhon"". Determined to spread and defend his ideas Proudhon also talks of a new pamphlet project on federalism: ""The principle of federation that I have established is gaining ground and intelligent Belgians cannot fail to understand that their true safeguard lies there. . My pamphlet has stirred as much emotion as it did in Belgium: the masses enamoured with unity and Garibaldism are against me. But the clear-sighted are rallying with vigour the reaction is taking hold; already the tone of the newspapers has softened; it is becoming apparent that the matter must be re-examinedthe suspicion is spreading that the cause of liberty and of the Republic is being undermined by Garibaldian unitarism. One more pamphlet from me 30 or 40 pages at most and my idea will triumph I dare say on all accounts. Within three months Belgians will acknowledge that with this idea of federation on which I intend to base all internal and foreign policy the annexation of their country will become impossible. You know how quickly ideas travel in France: we are witnessing one of those turnarounds. It takes after all a timely and forcefully articulated contradiction aimed at men of authority!. Suppose instead of addressing Mazzini and Garibaldi I had targeted my argument at Mr. Grauquillot or Alphonse Peyrat editor of La Presse it would have achieved nothing I would have wasted my time and paper. This dear Mr. Lebègue is confidential and between us. Take note of the information I share if you deem it useful but do not quote me. In a fortnight you will receive my fourth article. LOffice in memory of my collaboration wishes to publish a short commentary and a few excerpts which I believe would benefit everyone. You know I seek neither praise nor approval; only publicity and with that I am content. You would be the cause of liberty in France and of independence in Belgium "" Proudhon's letter also contains an interesting passage on the fierce rivalry between him and Adolphe Thiers. As a politician Thiers had notably rejected outright Proudhon's well-k Alphonse Lebègue (destinataire) unknown

Lettre autographe signée de 4 pages rédigée depuis la prison de Sainte-Pélagie Signed handwritten 4-page letter written from the Sainte-Pelagie prison

1851réf. 68629Paris Prison de Sainte-Pélagie Paris 1851. Fine. ""I still appear to many people as only the pure and simple negation of what is."" Paris Prison de Sainte-Pélagie Paris 12 Novembre 1851 13 x 20.50 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed on four pages dated 12 November 1851. 124 lines in black ink. This letter is presented in a chemise and slipcase with paper boards decorated with abstract motifs green morocco spine green suede doublure slipcase with morocco spine and matching paper boards signed by Thomas Boichot. Unpublished autograph letter on progress signed by Pierre-Joseph-Marie Proudhon major figure in French social thought and the father of anarchy. The philosopher imprisoned since 1849 develops his socialist convictions in a virulent and combative style condemning the absolutisms of his time. Extraordinary declaration of philosophical political and social faith from a marginal thinker who influenced Karl Marx Emile Durkheim and Benjamin Tucker. This unpublished and densely written letter is a passionate reflection close to an essay entitled De lidée de progrès written around ten days later that Proudhon published with another De la Certitude et de son criterium in the work Philosophie du progrès. This set of texts was composed only two weeks before the coup of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte which he immediately opposed. Once released from prison in 1852 Proudhon published the two letters at Lebègue in Brussels in order to escape censorship which had prohibited the sale of the booklet on French territory. Already having been detained for two years in the jails of the future French emperor Proudhon writes to Romain-Cornut from Sainte-Pélagie prison. Journalist Romain-Cornut had just finished a series of articles on Auguste Comtes positivism Études critiques sur le socialisme October-November 1851. This letter must be viewed as an admirable four-page plea or more a confession of his socialist vision of progress a social positivism which is based on the reconsideration of the ancient order: we withdraw in the face of an intellectual negation which is the sine qua non condition of further progress. During the course of the letter he establishes a balance between his polemical soul and his desire for legitimacy striving to be no longer viewed as a mere agitator but as a true philosopher. We are indeed reminded of his famous saying Property is theft! his sympathy for the 1848 uprisings as well as his acerbic pamphlets in Le Peuple that consecrated his radical reputation: I have been until this day so foolishly judged even by the socialists . Because I led the criticism of the old principles as far as it could go . I still appear to many people as only the pure and simple negation of what is. Proudhon however maintains his intention to leave the shields of criticism leaving the argument of circumstance for the moment in my new studies and thus implies the writing of a new deeper work published under the title La Philosophie du progrès 1853 dedicated to the same Romain-Cornut. Proudhon an anarchist in favour of the abolition of the State and the government violently criticizes the system which is by definition anti-progressive: Yet it is unquestionable from this progressive point of view that our society as a whole monarchists democrats Catholics philosophers is still absolutist: what everyone wants is a charter a constitution a system a fixed and definitive legislation finally. In addition to political systems Proudhon picks up this same idealism in the philosophical thinking of his elders and does not refrain from giving a violent condemnation: Like Pascal like the Germans we want the absolute! . Spinoza Malebranche Leibnitz etc. all of whom operating on the categories of substance causality eternity unity plurality etc. have arrived at politically and intellectually immobile systems at the absolute. He noted the harmful effects of the political regimes and of the ph hardcover

Qu'est-ce que la propriété

1840réf. 161495Paris: J.-F. Brocard 1840. A "diabolical work which frightens even me" Proudhon First edition one of 500 copies and correspondingly scarce in commerce of the French anarchist philosopher's notorious thesis which caused a scandal by equating all property with theft. In the wake of the social turmoil caused by the economic decline in France in 1839-40 and the July Monarchy's lapse into a "religion of property" Pierre-Joseph Proudhon 1809-1865 argued that - unlike freedom and equality - the right to property was not a natural right. Yet he also opposed collective ownership "as he was persuaded that only a society without government is able to establish social harmony. The First International was indeed destroyed in the great fight between those who supported a libertarian socialism of the kind Proudhon had advocated and those who followed the authoritarian pattern devised by Karl Marx. Kropotkin and Herzen were all his confessed disciples. Even Tolstoy sought him and borrowed the title and much of the theoretical background of his masterpiece War and Peace from Proudhon's book La guerre et la paix One can place Proudhon among the great socialist thinkers of the nineteenth century" Simons pp. 301-2. Proudhon himself referred to Qu'est-ce que la propriété as a "diabolical work which frightens even me" Correspondance I p. 296 and he was called to defend himself against insurrection charges at his local court immediately after its publication. Qu'est-ce que la propriété was followed in 1841 by his "Lettre à M. Blanqui sur la propriété Deuxieme mémoire" and "Avertissement aux propriétaires ou Lettre à M. Considérant sur une defénse de la propriété" often referred to as the "troisiéme mémoire". Duodecimo 168 x 105 mm. Binder's stamp Ateliers Laurenchet to front pastedown.
