Download or read book Justice Order and Anarchy written by Alex Prichard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a contextual account of the first anarchist theory of war and peace, and sheds new light on our contemporary understandings of anarchy in International Relations. Although anarchy is arguably the core concept of the discipline of international relations, scholarship has largely ignored the insights of the first anarchist, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Proudhon's anarchism was a critique of the projects of national unification, universal dominion, republican statism and the providentialism at the heart of enlightenment social theory. While his break with the key tropes of modernity pushed him to the margins of political theory, Prichard links Proudhon back into the republican tradition of political thought from which his ideas emerged, and shows how his defence of anarchy was a critique of the totalising modernist projects of his contemporaries. Given that we are today moving beyond the very statist processes Proudhon objected to, his writings present an original take on how to institutionalise justice and order in our radically pluralised, anarchic international order. Rethinking the concept and understanding of anarchy, Justice, Order and Anarchy will be of interest to students and scholars of political philosophy, anarchism and international relations theory.

Download or read book Political Economy from Below written by Rob Knowles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communitarian anarchism is a generic form of socialism that denies the need for a state or any other authority over the individual from above, and which requires absolute belief that the individual cannot exist outside of a community of others. This book suggests that the communitarian anarchists of the nineteenth century developed and articulated a distinct tradition of economic thought. The period of this study begins with the first major writing of the French communitarian anarchist, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, in 1840 and ends with the temporary burial of anarchist theorizing at the beginning of the First World War in 1914. However, he tradition of communitarian anarchist economic thought did not end in 1914. The economic thought explored in this book provides a fresh perception of the fragmentation evident in many societies today, especially where there is a substantial "informal economy."
Download or read book War and Peace written by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Proudhon's best books, War and Peace is the least well known in the English-speaking world. This first English translation will open up both our understanding of Proudhon's mature works as well as a window on mid-nineteenth century international relations and the history of international thought. Sharkey's rich and faithful translation, and Prichard's scholarly introduction and annotations, bring this book to life for a new, (post)modern audience. This is still one of the only extended accounts of anarchist international theory in history and is one of the earliest in the history of socialist thought. Prichard's introduction describes both its specificity and the multiple lines of influence it had, on writers as diverse as Tolstoy, Sorel, French sociology more broadly, and post-1945 Anglo-American International Relations theory.

Download or read book The Anarchist Handbook written by and published by Michael Malice. This book was released on 2021-05-09 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anarchism has been both a vision of a peaceful, cooperative society—and an ideology of revolutionary terror. Since the term itself—anarchism—is a negation, there is a great deal of disagreement on what the positive alternative would look like. The black flag comes in many colors. The Anarchist Handbook is an opportunity for all these many varied voices to speak for themselves, from across the decades. These were human beings who saw things differently from their fellow men. They fought and they loved. They lived and they died. They disagreed on much, but they all shared one vision: Freedom.
Download or read book Anarchism as Political Philosophy written by Robert Hoffman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports of people rejecting political authority, assaulting it with words and often violent acts, are actions that are part of modern life. Anarchism has been considered a dead movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, but it assumed a renewed and substantial relevance in the late twentieth century. Robert Hoffman points out in his incisive Introduction that anarchists have always been viewed either as foolish idealists or, at the other extreme, as serious threats to justice and social tranquility. But, the editor argues, most anarchists have been ordinary people who have shared a singular passion for what they believe to be a just society.To clarify widespread misconceptions about anarchism, this volume offers a lively debate on the subject, consisting of works by both advocates of anarchism and people who take it seriously but reject it. Represented here, in the writings of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Leo Tolstoy, George Bernard Shaw, Bertrand Russell, and others, are different types, styles, and periods of anarchist writing, reflecting a rich variety of thought arising from the anarchist perspective. The essays deal with many of the different strands of anarchists, including anarchist attacks on democracy, patriotism, and military conscription, and provide an outline of the movement's tumultuous history. Against these are set pieces that argue anarchism's impossibility and estimate its relevance to social change.The debate format of Anarchism introduces the reader to a fresh perspective and understanding of vital issues of political and social theory, and provokes him to examine his own thinking. Looking at both sides of the controversy, this volume discourages unquestioning or over-confident opinions. Although the anarchist credo that man can live without government is difficult or impossible for most people to accept, as long as we find it difficult to live within the framework of government control, the influence and potenti

Download or read book Fourier The Theory of the Four Movements written by Charles Fourier and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-02-22 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable book, written soon after the French Revolution, has traditionally been considered one of the founding documents in the history of socialism. It introduces the best-known and most extraordinary utopia written in the last two centuries. Charles Fourier was among the first to formulate a right to a minimum standard of life. His radical approach involved a systematic critique of work, marriage and patriarchy, together with a parallel right to a sexual minimum. He also proposed a comprehensive alternative to the Christian religion. Finally, through the medium of a bizarre and extraordinary cosmology, Fourier argued that the poor state of the planet is the result of the evil practices of civilisation. Translated into English, this classic text will be of particular interest to students and scholars of the history of sexuality and feminism, political thought and socialism.
Download or read book Jesus AntiChrist written by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know what he thought about property, government, war, art, and so many other subjects. But what about his spiritual side? For example, what did Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-65), the great forefather of anarchism, have to say about Jesus Christ? For Proudhon, Jesus was the original Anti-christ or an "Anti-Messiah", who denied the traditional idea of the Messiah: Jesus taught that the Messiah was not a god who came to die for your sins, or some revolutionary leader coming to free the people: rather, for Proudhon's Jesus, "Messiah" is an abstraction relating to moral and social progress; "Christ" equals social and personal improvement. No man will come to save the day: instead, we have to reform ourselves.This is the first English edition of this curious, posthumous book by Proudhon.
