Kropotkin and the Anarchist Intellectual Tradition

In a new examination of Peter Kropotkin´s thought, this book rebuts the persistent misrepresentation of anarchism as a utopian creed or a recipe for social chaos and political disorder. Jim Mac Laughlin moves beyond previous accounts, providing a sustained and critical reading of Kropotkin´s extensive writings on the social, historical, scientific, and philosophical basis of modern anarchism.
