This book argues that the Russian thinker Petr Kropotkin's
anarchism was a bio-political revolutionary project. It shows how
Kropotkin drew on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century
European and Russian bio-social-medical scientific thought to the
extent that ideas about health, sickness, insanity, degeneration,
and hygiene were for him not metaphors but rather key political
concerns. It goes on to discuss how for Kropotkin's bio-political
anarchism, the state, capitalism, and revolution were medical
concerns whose effects on the individual and society were
measurable by social statistics and explainable by
bio-social-medical knowledge. Overall, the book provides a
refreshing, innovative approach to understanding Kropotkin's
anarchism.
