PROUDHON: FOR A BALANCE
As an inscription to his first great book, The Economical Contradictions , Proudhon had insert the famous device from which one normally retains only the first part: Destruam et oedificabo. We agree on the fact that he did destroy quite a lot, one is less sure that the might have built. Its mercyless critic was actually exerted, on all the doctrines of its time, which distinguished it self for discovering the erroneous sides from the dangerous ones. Too individualistic Liberals and too gregarious Communists, too governmental or too fraternal Socialists, too much unitary and centraliser Democrats, Catholics too absolutists and skeptics, without deep faith, Materialists without customs, all felt the leather strap of its whip.If his attaks had been at times excessiv or eventually unjust, it’s necessary to make the violence of his temperament and his absolut conviction of listening to nothing except for Science and Right responsible for it.With these antinomical elements that his analysis undressed, Proudhon tried afterwards to constitute balances or syntheses. He did not obtain it, just as well, because he was for certain views too old, for others too advanced for his time. He was however hurt of being only considered as a demolisher, and in his Theory of the Property (posthumous) he tried to enumerate “the demonstrations of sufficiently positive things” of which he was proud to have enriched science.

PROUDHON: FOR A BALANCE
As an inscription to his first great book, The Economical Contradictions , Proudhon inserted the famous device: "Destruam et oedificabo". Usually only the first part "Destroy" is remembered. We agree on the fact that he did destroy quite a lot, but are less sure what he might have built. His merciless criticism was actually exerted on all the doctrines of his time, distinguishing the erroneous from the dangerous.
Too individualistic Liberals, too gregarious Communists, too governmental or too fraternal Socialists, too united and centralised Democrats, Catholics too absolutist, and skeptics without deep faith, Materialists without customs, all felt the whip of his criticism. If his attacks were at times excessive or even unjust, it’s necessary to take the violence of his temperament into account, his determination to listen to nothing except Science and Right, being responsible.
With all the the contradictionary elements that his analysis tore apart, Proudhon tried afterwards to constitute balances or syntheses. He did not obtain it, just as well, because he was too old for some views, while for others, too advanced for his time. He was however hurt of being only considered as a demolisher, and in his Theory of Property (posthumous) tried to show “the demonstration of sufficiently positive things” with which he was proud to have enriched science.
