BAZARD, AMAND (1791–1832) , See also:French socialist, the founder of a See also:secret society in See also:France corresponding to the See also:Carbonari of See also:Italy, was See also:born at See also:Paris. He took See also:part in the See also:defence of Paris in 1815, and afterwards occupied a subordinate situation in the prefecture of the See also:Seine. About 182o he See also:united some patriotic See also:friends into a society, called Amis de la verite. From this was See also:developed a See also:complete See also:system of Carbonarism, the See also:peculiar principles of which were introduced from Italy by two of Bazard's friends. Bazard himself was at the See also:head of the central See also:body, and, while taking a See also:general See also:lead, contributed extensively to the Carbonarist See also:journal, L'Aristarque. An unsuccessful outbreak at See also:Belfort ruined the society, and the leaders were compelled to conceal themselves. Bazard, after remaining for some See also:time in obscurity in Paris, came to the conclusion that the ends of those who wished well to the See also:people would be most easily attained, not through See also:political agitation,but by effecting a See also:radical See also:change in their social See also:condition. This See also:train of thinking naturally See also:drew him towards the socialist philosophers of the school of See also:Saint-See also:Simon, whom he joined. Ile contributed to their journal, Le Producteur; and in 1828 began to give public lectures on the principles of the school (see SAINTSIMON). His opposition to the emancipation of See also:women brought about a See also:quarrel with See also:Enfantin (q.v.) in 1831, and Bazard found himself almost deserted by the members of the society. He attacked Enfantin violently, and in a warm discussion between them he was struck down by See also:apoplexy. After lingering for a few months he died on the 29th of See also:July 1832.
