Biography

After studies with Thunder (Yonne), it will make its medicine with Paris (1842-1845) and becomes intern of Paris in 1845.

It enters the political life in 1848, professing after the days of June of the “intransigent socialist revolutionary opinions” . It never recovered of the failure of February 1848 and working blood versed on the barricades of June. In 1855, he married the girl of Germain Rampont-Léchin, former democratic representative of the Yonne to the Constituent one. During these years of exile, it devotes the essence of its time to literary activities. Other announced books will never be published. Patient, it still moves in Europe, propagandist of the Fraternité and resistance to oppression. Installed in Switzerland, in the canton of Geneva, it commits suicide in 1862 there after having refused the amnesty of 1859.

Ernest Cœurderoy was in fact a recluse. It highly fought the republican and socialist chiefs of which it returned the ambitions and the dissensions responsible for the defeat of the revolution for 1848. Under triple Fourier influences, of Pierre Leroux and of Proudhon, its system was a “synthesis of collectivism and mutuellism libertarians” . He claimed the collective ownership of the means of production, the free access for all to the instruments of work, the personal property and the mutual exchange of the products of work. Patient for a rather long time, it committed suicide in a crisis of nervous breakdown or madness.

Today known only of the specialists in the tormented period which followed the revolution of 1848, Ernest Cœurderoy was however one of the precursors of the Anarchisme. Having endorsed the party of the overcome revolutionists, it had to flee its country, painful exile which it constrained of living as an outlaw. The history is written by the winners and one had early made forget Cœurderoy. Its work is not less that of a vibrating heir to the lights, concerned about the social question, that of an intransigent republican and a dark visionary.
