Since his youth in the 1930s, Murray Bookchin has devoted his life
to looking for ways to replace today's authoritarian society, and
the system that immiserates most of humanity and poisons the
natural world, with a more enlightened and rational alternative. A
close student of the European enlightenment, he is best known for
introducing the idea of ecology to the political left, and for
first positing that a liberatory society would also have to be an
ecological society. Over the course of several decades,
"libertarian municipalism", the political dimension of the broader
body of ideas known as social ecology, was developed by this world
famous social theorist.
Written in short, to-the-point chapters, this book presents an
introductory overview of the ideas as Bookchin developed them. In
addition to laying out the basic components of libertarian
municipalism's political ideas (ideas of how to create free
cities), it sketches the historical and philosophical context in
which Bookchin grounds them and provides substantial material on
the practical questions of creating and organizing a new municipal
movement toward such democratic cities. Bookchin has generously
provided the lengthy interview that makes up the last third of this
book.
