The Courrier Social Illustré wanted above all to be a journal of intellectual emancipation: "It has only one goal: the conquest of the Individual by himself. The Courrier Social is an "endehors". Not admitting any politics, proclaiming itself neutral in this matter, it refuses in advance any polemic. [...] The Social Courier fights for Free Beauty. It asserts itself from now on, individualist to the extreme and accepts no enlistment, no label except that of libertarian which is enough for it. The Courrier Social is open to all intelligences.
