Anarchism

Resumen

"Anarchism" by Paul Eltzbacher is a comprehensive examination of anarchistic theories and principles, likely written in the late 19th century. The text serves as both an exploration of influential anarchist thinkers and a critical analysis of anarchism as a movement, delving into themes such as law, state, and property. It is structured to present foundational teachings from notable figures within the anarchist tradition, including Godwin, Proudhon, and Kropotkin, providing readers with a broad understanding of anarchistic thought. The opening of "Anarchism" outlines the author's intent to explore the essence of anarchism from a scientific perspective, addressing a range of mixed opinions about its meaning and implications. Eltzbacher emphasizes the necessity of clarity around the concept of anarchism and its variations, identifying a pressing need for scholarly definitions that draw from historical anarchist writings. In the introduction and initial chapter, Eltzbacher sets up a framework for his study, establishing a systematic approach to understanding key anarchistic doctrines, which he intends to explore in detail through the examination of prominent anarchist philosophers and their teachings.
