A classic in philosophy and ethics, and one of the foundational texts of the anarchist movement of the late 19th and early 20th century.

In this way Ethics gives answers to two fundamental problems of morality: its origin and historical development, and its goals and standards.

Fields, Factories and Workshops (1899) is a meticulously researched and brilliantly argued outline for redirecting agricultural and industrial production In a world of shrinking resources and increasing human needs.

As a result of the growing realization that the world's resources of energy and raw materials are finite, that food is our most precious commodity and that most people's working lives are futile and stultifying, the lessons of this book are topical and hopeful.

In Mutual Aid, which was first published in 1903, the renowned geographer applies his explorations of Eastern Asia and his study of wild-animal behaviour to a critical examination of the theory of evolution. His arguments anticipate in a remarkable way the contention of contemporary ecologists that the world of nature is one of interdependence rather than strife.
Born in 1942 into an ancient military family of Russian princes, Peter Alexeivich Kropotkin was selected as a child for the elite Corps of Pages by...
