The Abolition of the State (Classic Reprint): An Historical and Critical Sketch of the Parties Advocating Direct Government, a Federal Republic, or Individualism - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore how the idea of abolishing the state has shaped political thought and individual liberty. This accessible history surveys the roots and debates around direct government, federalism, and personal sovereignty. It traces how reformers, philosophers, and revolutionaries challenged the old order and imagined new forms of association.
The book frames a long conversation about who holds power, how laws are made, and what it means for individuals to be truly free. You’ll encounter debates spanning Bentham’s utilitarianism, Rousseau’s social contract, Robespierre’s visions of sovereignty, and Proudhon’s commitment to liberty and mutualism. Through historical sketches, it shows how different movements proposed transforming or replacing government with administration, parishes, or direct popular rule.
- Learn the key ideas behind the abolition of the state and the sovereignty of the individual.
- See how critics and reformers argued for direct democracy, parishes, or unfinished versions of federalism.
- Understand the intellectual lineage from classical liberty to modern critiques of government and capital.
- Explore how famous thinkers reimagined law, property, and social obligation without traditional state power.
Ideal for readers of political philosophy, history of ideas, and social theory who want a compact, historically grounded overview of anti-state perspectives and their influence on modern debates.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound history and development of anti-government and anti-state ideas in Europe in the 19th century. The author traces the evolution of these ideas, from the early French Revolution through the social and economic upheavals of the time. The book delves into the philosophies of influential thinkers like Proudhon, who argued for the abolition of the state and the sovereignty of the individual. It examines the emergence of mutual credit and the suppression of interest on capital as central themes in the movement. The author also discusses the concept of the individual as the central authority and the attempts to reconcile liberty and centralization. By providing a nuanced understanding of these ideas and their historical context, the book sheds light on the complex relationship between the individual, the state, and the pursuit of a free and just society.
