Anarchism

“The world grows old and grows young again, but man always hopes for improvement.” What kind of society could fulfill that hope without any government at all?

Writing in the late nineteenth century, E. V. Zenker takes up a theory that promises the individual complete freedom—and challenges the claim that it is merely a symptom of social illness. He distinguishes Anarchism from Liberalism and Socialism, then traces its early roots while weighing freedom against the needs of the community. His account is critical, but insists that even a dangerous idea deserves to be examined fairly. If individual and society cannot truly be separated, can absolute freedom ever be more than an ideal?
