Abstract
Tras el término generalmente peyorativo de socialismo utópico, se dan cita una serie de pensadores y reformadores sociales comprometidos con los problemas del periodo posterior a 1789, un tiempo atravesado por la inestabilidad y la emergencia de una nueva estructura de relaciones económicas. El caso de Saint-Simon y su escuela, el sansimonismo, constituye un claro exponente de uno de estos movimientos de corte renovador que acabaría sacudiendo y dinamizando la escena política y social de su época. En este trabajo analizaremos las dos dimensiones presentes en su proyecto: una doctrinal, más clásica y conocida, asociada al establecimiento de una futura sociedad industrial en Francia; y una segunda, inspiradora de un discurso potencialmente crítico, más próximo a la realidad de los problemas y, en consecuencia, considerado más peligroso y amenazador para el orden imperante.
Under the generally pejorative term of Utopian socialism there can be found a number of thinkers and social reformers committed to the problems of the period after 1789, marked by instability and the emergence of a new structure of economic relations. The case of Saint-Simon and his school, Saint-Simonism, constitutes a clear example of one of these innovative movements that shook up and invigorated the social and political scene of the time. In this paper we shall analyze the two dimensions present within Saint-Simon’s project. The more classic and well known side of his work is doctrinal, associated with the establishment of a future industrial society in France. A second dimension inspired a potentially critical discourse that addressed the existing social problems and, consequently, was considered more dangerous and threatening to the prevailing order.
