关于此电子书

In "God and the State," Mikhail Bakunin delivers a provocative rejection of authority and organized religion, arguing for a society liberated from oppressive structures. Through a compelling blend of philosophical discourse and revolutionary rhetoric, Bakunin critiques both the metaphysical foundations of religion and the dogmas of the state. His style is incisive and fierce, reflecting the tumultuous political climate of the 19th century. Engaging with contemporary thinkers, Bakunin interweaves personal anecdotes and social commentary, establishing a rich literary context that draws from radical Enlightenment ideas while challenging established norms of power and belief. Bakunin, a prominent figure of anarchist thought, was deeply influenced by the socio-political upheavals of his time, including the revolutions across Europe and the impact of Marxism. His radical background, intellectual exchanges with contemporaries, and imprisonment often shaped his writings, fueling his disdain for both theocracy and state governance. "God and the State" emerges from his lifelong commitment to promoting human emancipation and social justice, serving as both a manifesto and a personal exploration of freedom. This work is indispensable for readers interested in political philosophy, anarchism, and the interplay of religion and state. Bakunin's incisive arguments invite readers to re-evaluate traditional belief systems and inspire critical thought about society's structures. As relevant today as it was in the 19th century, "God and the State" is a foundational text that challenges us to envision a world free from coercive authority.

作者简介

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.
