An Amazing Progress
Description:
The newspaper article was first published on May 06, 1956, in the New York Times, by a prominent scholar of comparative literature, Albert Leon Geurard. The clipping offers an introduction, and discussion on Henri Saint-Simon and his philosophy. Meanwhile, it discusses Frank E. Manuel’s book The New World of Henri Saint-Simon.
Transcription:
The opening section of the article speaks to the task of author Frank E. Manuel in adequately representing Claude-Henri’s manner, as a “bewildering character.” It goes on to briefly discuss Henri’s involvement in the Revolution, and subsequent arrest. It, later, briefly touches on his recovery under the Restoration, where his political philosophy began to become fully formed. “His distinction between organic and critical periods; his belief that the producers (he called them industrials), not the parasites, should rule the world… [and] that government should foster the physical and moral welfare of the most numerous and poorest class.”
