The present book constitutes an attempt to contribute to the study
of the intellectual roots of modem totalitarianism. It is not
intended to duplicate the several works on the history of the
Saint-Simonian movement, including the excellent study by Charlety,
or the large periodical literature on various phases of
Saint-Simonian economic, literary, aesthetic, feminist, and
pacifist thought. Rather it analyzes systematically for the first
time the political ideas of the Saint-Simonians and their social
and cultural implications. In contrast to previous studies, this
book utilizes extensively the periodical literature of the period
1829-1832 during which the political ideas of the movement
underwent their greatest development. This study is an outgrowth of
a doctoral dissertation written at the University of Chicago.
Unlike the dissertation, this book attempts to study Saint-Simonian
political ideas within the framework of the intellectual history of
the early nineteenth century. I wish to give particular thanks to
the members of my doctoral committee, Professors Louis Gottschalk,
James L.
