La pornocratie: la question sociale au cœur de la théologie politique de P.-J. Proudhon

The question of love - its manifestations, practices and social institutions - is at the heart of 19th-century thinking. Industrial progress, urbanization and the secularization of French society have contributed to the development of a pornocracy because the paradigm of prostitution is spreading as a social model in a system dominated by capital. Such is the analysis leaded by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon convinced that mystical Platonism gives way to the school of peripatetic, “the ladies of night”. Also, it is particularly alarming to see that the race for the honors of the political leaders is diverted by the economic interests, perverting by the way the exercise of the democracy. Proudhon thus develops a reflection of political theology and reconnecting with libertarian and anarchist evangelism.
