Although his classical writings on mutual aid and the philosophy of anarchism are still published today, Peter Kropotkin remains a neglected figure. A talented geographer and a revolutionary socialist, Kropotkin was one of the most important theoreticians of the anarchist movement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eKropotkin: The Politics of Community\u003c\/em\u003e, Brian Morris reaffirms with an attitude of critical sympathy the contemporary relevance of Kropotkin as a political and moral philosopher and as a pioneering social ecologist. Well-researched and wide-ranging, this volume not only presents an important contribution to the history of anarchism, both as a political tradition and as a social movement, but also offers insightful reflections on contemporary debates in political theory and ecological thought. After a short biographical note, the book analyzes in four parts Kropotkin's writings on anarchist communism, agrarian socialism, and integral education; modern science and evolutionary theory; the French Revolution and the modern state; and possessive individualism, terror, and war.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStanding as a comprehensive and engaging introduction to anarchism, social ecology, and the philosophy of evolutionary holism, \u003cem\u003eKropotkin\u003c\/em\u003e is written in a straightforward manner that will appeal to those interested in social anarchism and in alternatives to neoliberal doctrines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Morris\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of anthropology at Goldsmiths College, London.
