Beschreibung

God and the State (called by its author The Historical Sophisms of the Doctrinaire School of Communism) is an unfinished manuscript by the Russian anarchist philosopher Mikhail Bakunin, published posthumously in 1882. The work criticises Christianity and the then-burgeoning technocracy movement from a materialist, anarchist and individualist perspective. It has gone on to become Bakunin's most widely read and praised work.

Autor

Mikhail Bakunin (1814-1876) was a Russian revolutionary anarchist, and arguably one of the most influential political thinkers of the 19th century. His passionate belief in the abolition of all governmental structures and institutions, as well as his criticism of state power and organized religion, laid down the groundwork for what is now broadly referred to as collectivist anarchism. Bakunin's magnum opus, 'God and the State,' remains a seminal text for anarchists and scholars of political theory. In it, he argues against the divine right of rulers and for the freedom of individuals from religious and political authority. Bakunin's literary style is notably intense and fervent, which reflects his tempestuous personality and unyielding commitment to his principles. His ideas, particularly those concerning the preeminence of liberty and a stateless society, were pivotal in the development of the anarchist movement. Though he never saw the realization of his vision in his lifetime, Bakunin's legacy continues to inspire and provoke debate among philosophers, activists, and political theorists. His contributions to the concept of direct action, federalism, and anti-authoritarianism are key texts in the anarchist canon and remain influential in contemporary discussions of social and political organization.
