One thing is sure,--that my superstition and credulity reached their height at the very period of my life which my critics reproachfully assign as the date of my Fourieristic beliefs.
Now I hold quite other views.

My mind no longer admits that which is demonstrated by syllogisms, analogies, or metaphors, which are the methods of the phalanstery, but demands a process of generalization and induction which excludes error.

Of my past OPINIONSS I retain absolutely none.

I have acquired some KNOWLEDGE.

I no longer BELIEVE.
