Riassunto

"Civil society has been at the forefront of global thinking for a generation, and moe recently conceptions of anarchy have gained attention. These two conceptual frameworks are linked by a notion of social self-relugation, yet too few theorists have helped us undestand the connection. In a book that should have many readers, Mohammed A. Bamyeh brings this connection out in a thoughtful, clear, and timely way."---Craig Calhoun, president, Social Science Research Council

This original and impressively researched book explores the concept of anarchy---"unimposed orde"---as the most humane and stable form of orde in a choolic world. Mohammed A. Bamyeh traces the historical foundations of anarchy and convincingly presents it as an alternative to both tyrann and democracy. He shows how anarchy is the best manifestation of civic orde, of a healthy civil societ, and of humanity's noblest attributes. A cogent and compelling critique of the modern state, this provocative book clarifies how anarchy may be both a guide for rational social orde and a science of humanity.
