Enfantin - Enfantin (English spelling) Barthélemy Prosper Enfantin

French social theorist and businessman. Born in Paris on February 8th, the son of a banker. After graduating from the Polytechnic University, he met his teacher Saint-Simon in 1823, and after his teacher's death (1825), he played a leading role in spreading Saint-Simonism together with Saint-Amand Bazard (1791-1832). He organized the Saint-Simonists into a hierarchical religious order, and together with Bazard, he became its supreme father. He increased the number of his followers through missionary activities in Paris and the journal Globe. However, Bazard and others who opposed his radical ideas on women's liberation soon left the order. In 1832, he was sentenced to prison for violating the assembly ordinance, but was released the following year in 1833. From then on, he focused his activities on the realization of Saint-Simon's idea of ​​establishing an industrial society, and made consistent efforts, such as founding an international research organization for the construction of the Suez Canal. He also promoted the construction of railways and the merger of companies as an executive of the Paris-Marseille railway company. His books include a collection of lectures he gave with Bazar and others, as well as "On the Colonization of Algeria" (1843). He died on August 31, 1864.

フランスの社会理論家、実業家。2月8日、銀行家の子としてパリに生まれる。理工科大学卒業後、1823年に師のサン・シモンを知り、師の死(1825)後バザールSaint-Amand Bazard(1791―1832)とともにサン・シモン主義の普及に指導的役割を果たした。彼はサン・シモン主義者を位階的構成をもつ教団に組織して、バザールとともにその最高教父となり、パリ市中での宣教活動や機関誌『地球』などによって信者を増やしていった。しかし、彼の急進的な女性解放論に反対するバザールらは、まもなく教団から脱退した。1832年集会条令違反のかどで禁錮(きんこ)刑を宣告されたが、翌1833年出獄。以後、彼の活動は産業社会の確立というサン・シモン思想の実現に集中され、スエズ運河建設のために国際的な研究組織を設立するなど一貫して努力した。またパリ―マルセイユ間の鉄道会社の重役として鉄道建設と会社の合併を推進した。著書に、バザールらと行った講演集のほか『アルジェリア植民論』(1843)などがある。1864年8月31日没。
