The Revolution

The problem of community, as Proudhon understands it, is to reconcil individual freedom with social peace. His political theorizing can best be seen as a prolonged effort to achieve this reconciliation. Proudhon was not at all original in placing the problem of community, as thus conceived, at the top of his agenda. He was simply responding in the usual way to the challenge presented by the Revolution to all writers on politics in early nineteenth-century France.- By disrupting social order at the same time that it awakened demands for freedom, the Revolution had made an answer to the problem of community both urgent and difficult. A reconstructed French community both free and safe was clearly needed, but how could it be achieved? If pressing demands for freedom were met, a tenuous social peace would be endangered, while if peace were secured, demands for fredom would go unsatisfied. The need and the difficulty of reconciling peace and freedom under the circumstances prevailing in France led Proudhon, like so many of his contemporaries, to devote himself to finding an answer to the problem of community.

Size And Structure

Une analyse informatique des Relevés des Recenseurs résultant du recensement de l'lrlande en 1851, pour certaines parties du Comté d'Antrim, suggère que la grandeur des mènages et des families était légèrement plus élevée qu'en Angleterre pour la même période, mais qu' il existait des variations considérables selon les localités. Un rapport étroit entre la taille des ménages et le statut socio-économique semble être confirmé par l'étude des trés grands et des trés petits ménages. Les parents résidents n'appartenant pas à la cellule familiale à deux génêrations ont été dénombrés parmi un quart et un tiers de tous les ménages et il existait des omestiques logés chez les families dans un tiers des ménages au maximum.
