Going off the beaten path. Great find. Found it interesting how you gracefully side-stepped the question of infinite time. There is an alternative cosmology in astrophysics that supports an eternal universe. From an Austrian astrophysicist a few years back but can't recall his name. Based on mass not being constant over time which can account for a red-shift (Eigenvalues for a potential energy surface ~ 1/m). Had no conflicts with observations. What is your take on this subject matter in general considering Kant's antinomy? I tend to agree with Kant.
Since this was written at the end of 1871, i suspect his hypothesis itself is an attempt at coping with the massacre of the paris commune earlier that year. The last paragraphs themselves have a double edge to them. Progress may not be possible, but that also means we have not failed to make progress. The death of the revolution is only local happenstance, not a universal human truth.
Very interesting!
Thank you!

Thanks for pointing us to this historical figure (I'm working on Eternal Recurrence), there's definitely also some links to Marx here.
I believe Walter Benjamin was inspired by both Blanqui and Nietzsche and wrote about connections between then in the Arcades work.

Same idea as the multiverse too. Nothing is really new in philosophy or otherwise.
