Anarchism

Part of the Lexicon series from the Institute for Anarchist Studies, which "aims to covert words into politically helpful tools.... by offering definitional understandings of commonly used keywords." "Anarchism" defines anarchism as "striving towards 'a free society of free individuals'" and traces its history from 19th century Europe and the Enlightenment. Identifies areas of limited social critique in these histories, and outlines an "ethics" of anarchism underlying historical and contemporary efforts.
