Charles Fourier
Jan. 6th, 2008 08:45 pmCharles Fourier: genius, nutjob, satirist, architect, social commentator, sad lonely old man? I say all of the above, many simultaneously.
I have just been able to touch upon Fourier's work, but even so, the breadth and depth of it cannot be summarized in one post. I'll just give some points that stick in my head.

I can say I've had enough with Utopians, even philosophers in general, for a while. Utopians are best taken in small doses.
There is more wank in philosophy, Horatio, than is dreamt of in your fandom.
