A Torchbook library edition

Updates a previous edition but a great deal more of Christian thought in the ancient world is included as well as accounts of Islamic and Jewish philosophy.

Anarchism is a significant but relatively neglected of political thought. April Carter examines the anarchist critique of the state, of bureaucracy, of democratic government and contrasts this attitude with more orthodox political theory. She also considers anarchist theories and social and economic organization, the relevance of anarchism to contemporary conditions and the problems of idealism in politics. (Source: [Routledge](
