Modern Science And Anarchism (1908) - Paperback

by Peter Alekseevich Kropotkin (Author)

Modern Science and Anarchism is a book written by Peter Kropotkin, a Russian philosopher, economist, and political activist. The book was first published in 1908 and explores the relationship between modern science and anarchism. Kropotkin argues that science and anarchism are closely related, as both are based on the principles of cooperation, mutual aid, and decentralization. He believes that anarchism can provide a framework for the application of scientific knowledge to solve social problems and create a more just and equitable society. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of science, the role of technology in society, and the potential for scientific advancements to benefit all people. Kropotkin also discusses the limitations of capitalism and the state in promoting scientific progress and argues that an anarchist society would be better suited to foster scientific innovation and discovery. Overall, Modern Science and Anarchism is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between science and politics, and a call to action for those who believe that science can be a force for positive social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
