In its comparison of anarchist and poststructuralist thought, From
Bakunin to Lacan contends that the most pressing political problem
we face today is the proliferation and intensification of power.
Saul Newman targets the tendency of radical political theories and
movements to reaffirm power and authority, in different guises, in
their very attempt to overcome it. In his examination of thinkers
such as Bakunin, Lacan, Stirner, and Foucault Newman explores
important epistemological, ontological, and political questions: Is
the essential human subject the point of departure from which power
and authority can be opposed? Or, is the humanist subject itself a
site of domination that must be unmasked? As it deftly charts this
debate's paths of emergence in political thought, the book
illustrates how the question of essential identities defines and
re-defines the limits and possibilities of radical politics today.
