CREATION OF NEW RHYTHMS OF SOCIAL-LIFE

Saint-Simon, Fourier, Proudhon denounce strongly the established social rhythms, they announce a social revolution and invent some new rhythms. Saint-Simon imagines the industrial society submitted to a three-part time : invention, examination, execution. Fourier fustigates unvaried occupations, he emphasizes the harmony of rhythms with desires in a community whose the best symbol is the opera. More realistic, Proudhon describes the plurality of social rhythms.
