| Summary: | This article shows that Charles Fourier considers the world around him with the eyes of a physician and that he criticises the way society produces its own deviants which he sees as so many signs of malfunctioning.

The novelty of these views lies in the way Fourier transposes a « pathological » analysis of the economic sphere to the political and private spheres. |
