This book provides a re-assessment of Kropotkin's political thought
and suggests that the 'classical' tradition which has provided a
lens for the discussion of his work has had a distorting effect on
the interpretation of his ideas. By setting the analysis of his
thought in a number of key historical contexts, Ruth Kinna reveals
the enduring significance of his political thought and questions
the usefulness of those approaches to the history of ideas that map
historical changes to philosophical and theoretical shifts. One of
the key arguments of the book is that Kropotkin contributed to the
elaboration of an anarchist ideology, which has been badly
misunderstood and which today is too often dismissed as outdated.
This sympathetic but critical analysis corrects some popular myths
about Kropotkin's thought, highlights the important and unique
contribution he made to the history of socialist ideas and sheds
new light on the nature of anarchist ideology.
