Anarchism
ISBN: 9781551116297 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. To what degree can anarchism be an effective organized movement?

The framework for such discussions was perhaps given its most memorable shape, however, in George Woodcock's classic study of anarchism--now widely recognized as the most significant twentieth-century overview of the subject. Woodcock surveys all of the major figures that shaped anarchist thought, from Godwin and Proudhon to... To what degree can anarchism be an effective organized movement?

Peter Kropotkin: From Prince to Rebel
ISBN: 9780921689607 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 490 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Anarchism - the concept of a society without authority, of a civil order without any form of constitution or government - has fascinated people almost as long as we have possessed the power of speculative thought. In the general history of anarchism, the name of Peter Kropotkin dominates. Born in 1842 into an ancient military family of Russian princes, Kropotkin was selected as a child for the elite Corps of Pages by Tsar Nicholas I himself. Shortly before his death in 1921, he had moved so far from his aristocratic beginnings and attained such stature as a libertarian leader that he could...
