KROPOTKIN AND THE ANARCHIST INTELLECTUAL TRADITION
Book ID/图书代码： 10953016B89155
English Summary/英文概要： Kropotkin and the Anarchist Intellectual Tradition rescues Peter Kropotkin’s philosophy of anarchism from the neglect that it has suffered in mainstream histories of the social and environmental sciences.
Stressing Kropotkin’s intellectual strengths and philosophical integrity of anarchism, Jim Mac Laughlin counteracts the persistent misrepresentation of anarchism as a utopian creed or a recipe for social chaos and political disorder. Moving beyond most previous accounts of Kropotkin’s anarchism, Mac Laughlin focuses less on the man and his political career, instead providing a sustained and critical reading of his extensive writings on the social, historical and scientific basis of modern anarchism.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书从某种角度而言拯救了在社会和环境科学的主流历史中遭受忽视的彼得克鲁泡特金的无政府主义理念。Jim Mac Laughlin在本书中驳斥了长久以来对于无政府主义的误解，即它是乌托邦式的信仰，或是整治社会动乱和政治动荡的良方。作者强调了克鲁泡特金想法的优势以及无政府主义哲学的完整性。Mac Laughlin超越了之前对于克鲁泡特金的无政府主义的解读，他较少关注这个人和他的政治生涯，而是提供了大量基于现代无政府主义思想的对于历史和科学著作的持续和批判性阅读。(LYR)
Awards/获奖情况：很少有人对于克鲁泡特金的理解比Mac Laughlin更深，我会推荐这本书给所有想要通过生动的内容了解这个人的读者。本书将克鲁泡特金在思想学界的特殊贡献与历史上的政治无政府主义以及它的主要诉求等等穿插在一起，令人信服地展现了今天的社会其实仍旧需要这个来自俄罗斯的思想家。（John Agnew，加州大学洛杉矶分校特聘地理教授）
本书对于克鲁泡特金的解读很深刻但并不难懂，全书的主要背景是科学无政府主义的发展。本书是那些拥有批判性思维的读者以及政治活动家们必须的书籍，尤其是那些在这个可悲的、需要一些乐观思想的时代中。（Richard Peet，克拉克大学）
’Few know more about Kropotkin’s work than Jim MacLaughlin, and I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a lively introduction to the man’s writing and its implications. Weaving Kropotkin’s specific contributions into the overall history of political anarchism and its major claims, Jim convincingly shows how the world today still needs the mutualism that the old Russian championed.’ John Agnew, Distinguished Professor of Geography, UCLA
The result is a thorough examination of a number of key themes in Kropotkin’s philosophy of anarchism, including his concerted efforts to provide anarchism with an historical and scientific basis; the role of mutualism and mutual aid in social evolution and natural history; the ethics of anarchism, and the anarchist critique of state-centred nationalism and other expressions of power politics.
“A deeply intellectual, yet readable account of Kroptkin’s life and thought, set in the context of a stellar account of the development of scientific anarchism. Essential for all critical thinkers and political activists desperately in need of a dose of optimism in these sorry times.”
(Richard Peet, Clark University)
