Notes on Proudhon’s “Justice” - The Libertarian Labyrinth
One key challenge for modern readers of Proudhon's Justice is that the sections where he presumably provides his mature "solution of the social problem," his account of basic social relations organized according to principles of immanent justice, are also the sections where his anti-feminism poses the most significant challenges for us. The account itself is hardly a mystery. I translated the "Catechism of Marriage" late in that 2014 campaign. Proudhon's appropriation of the androgyne theory that had been popular in Saint-Simonian circles is straightforward enough — and, I think, there are also very few obstacles to making of it something useful, which dispenses with the particular forms of biological essentialism that we cite among the sources of the problem in Proudhon's work. What does seem to remain a bit mysterious is a fairly wide range of details, through which Proudhon moved from some biological notions of dubious validity to a theory of social organization that is in some ways tantalizingly close to what we might hope for from an anarchist social science.

Justice in the Revolution and in the Church: First Study (Parallel English) - The Libertarian Labyrinth
The theory of Immanence, while resolving the apparent contradictions of morality, still explains all the fictions of the allegedly revealed system. It gives, so to speak, the natural history of theology and worship, the reason for the mysteries, the biography of the gods. It shows us how religion was born from the preponderance given in society to one of the essential elements of the soul, an element which, sovereign in metaphysics, must remain secondary in practice, the Ideal. It is only of yesterday, and we already owe to it that spark which makes the lights of the old faith pale; slandered excessively, it will save us from the corruptions in extremis of a reaction to despair and a religiosity that is dying out.

I'm revising my 2009 translation of the 1860 "Program" for about the third time and will I will tackle the extensive notes and "Nouvelles de la Révolution" (which make up two of the six volumes of the second edition) as I complete the relevant studies, including La Pornocratie, which appears in manuscript form as one more of the "Nouvelles" sections and was originally intended by Proudhon to follow the two studies on "Love and Marriage."
