Anarchy and Society
Reflections on Anarchist Sociology
Description
Anarchy and Society explores the many ways in which the discipline of Sociology and the philosophy of anarchism are compatible. The book constructs possible parameters for an anarchist sociology’, by a sociological exposition of major anarchist thinkers (Kropotkin, Proudhon, Landauer, Goldman, and Ward), as well as an anarchist interrogation of key sociological concepts (social norms, inequality, and social movements).
