The Anti-Authoritarian Philsosophy

0/5 ( ratings)

E. Armand is a largely forgotten thinker of early 20th century libertarianism and anarchism, who wrote and lived outside of political and social conventions. He developed what he called an "anti-authoritarian philosophy", starting with the inviolable dignity of the individual and extending to a social philosophy of reciprocity and mutuality.

He was a powerful hedonist thinker, for whom sensual pleasure was no less important in individual development than any other form of happiness.

He opposed both communism and capitalism, and instead promoted the right to own a means of production and the free exchange of one's product.

This volume includes over 30 texts by E. Armand, which have been gathered from his books, pamphlets, and newspapers. Most of these are in their first English translations, organized by subject, with a functional hyperlinked table of
