The name Saint-Simon is more famous than his work, particularly because the Duke of Saint-Simon, famous memorialist of Louis XIV, and Claude-Henri de Rouvroy, count of Saint-Simon (1760–1825) the philosopher of the early nineteenth century discussed in this article, are often mistaken. The distorting reading of his work by the Saint-Simonian School added up to this confusion: it glorified the author, transformed him into a new Messiah, while at the same time caused his writings to be forgotten. His work, child of the French Revolution, played a mediating role between the end of the Enlightenment and the beginning of the following century, when the ideologies of the industrial world were born. Four lines of thought come directly from Saint-Simon: first, the positivism of Auguste Comte, his disciple and secretary for 7 years; then the socialisms, the anarchist thought of Proudhon, and especially the ideas of Marx who was the proponent of a return to Saint-Simon; then, the French sociology ushered in by Emile Durkheim; and, finally, the Saint-Simonian School itself. Although Saint-Simon’s thought dominated the nineteenth century, it was often misused, starting with Auguste Comte who wanted to set himself apart from Saint-Simon; then it was mocked and ridiculed by the religious cult of his followers and caricatured as a “utopian socialism.” A constant preoccupation runs through all of Saint-Simon’s thinking, that is,“to create a combination, which purpose is the making of a transition from the old to the new social system”(Industrial System, III, 2582). 1 As a post-revolutionary, Saint-Simon is a reformer; he wants to change the order of things but without the intention to put forward a new revolution. One cannot separate the work of Saint-Simon from his life, because his reflection on social change comes from his multifaceted experience as an engineering officer, a revolutionary aristocrat, an entrepreneur, and speculator. He himself said of his many experiences that they are the condition of a new thought:“to make important discoveries in philosophy, one must (...) travel across all classes of society; one must place oneself1Our references refer to the critical edition of Henri Saint-Simon’s Œuvres complètes, published in four volumes under the supervision of Juliette Grange, Pierre Musso, Philippe Régnier, and Franck Yonnet.
