Anarchism

The first obstacle to defining anarchism is that no one agrees which teachings count as anarchist. Worse, to choose a starting point, Paul Eltzbacher seems to need the definition he has not yet found.

Writing amid fierce disagreement over the meaning of anarchism, Eltzbacher sets out to give its doctrines precise, scientific definitions. But the label gathers together very different teachings: those of Proudhon, Stirner, Bakunin, Kropotkin, and others may overlap in some accounts and diverge sharply in others. Before he can explain what anarchism is, Eltzbacher must decide whose ideas belong under its name—and how to avoid letting his own definition decide the answer in advance. Which group of teachings will his method reveal at the heart of anarchism?
