Anarchism: Philosophy & Praxis—A Bibliography
Patrick S. O’Donnell (2022)
This bibliography has two conspicuous constraints: books, in English. While not exhaustive, it is
nonetheless intended to be fairly comprehensive. I have included works on social movements,
groups and organizations that may not be avowedly “anarchist” yet display many if not most of
the ideological and behavioral features we have come to identify as “anarchist.” I have not
included the bulk of titles involving the theoretical application of a few anarchist ideas to topics
in epistemology (or, for that matter, most areas of philosophy other than political philosophy
and philosophy of education or pedagogy) and literary theory, nor will one find works of
fiction that treat with intelligence and sympathy anarchist themes. I welcome suggestions for
updated versions of this compilation. Readers may be interested in the following bibliographies
with more or less family resemblance to this one: Beyond Capitalist-Attenuated Time: Freedom,
Leisure, and Self-Realization; Blacks on the (Radical) Left; Contemporary Democratic Theory;
The History, Theory & Praxis of the Left in the 1960s; Marx & Marxism; and Utopian
Imagination, Thought & Praxis.
“Of all the major traditions of political thought, the anarchists have probably been the most
consistent advocates of an expansion of democracy throughout society and into the economy,
and therefore have the most affinity with economic democracy. Unfortunately, much
contemporary democratic theory largely ignores this tradition. Today anarchism is less a single
cohesive political doctrine as it is a large family of those with similar convictions and
aspirations: hostility toward unaccountable authority, distrust of hierarchy and power, and
optimistic belief in the capacity of ordinary people to control their own lives and organize social
relationships on the basis of freedom, equality, and solidarity.”—Tom Malleson in After Occupy:
Economic Democracy for the 21st Century (New York: Oxford University Press, 2014): 19-20.

“Anarchism, the no-government system of socialism, has a double origin. It is an outgrowth of
the two great movements of thought in the economic and political fields which characterize the
nineteenth century, and especially its second part. In common with all socialists, the anarchists
hold that the private ownership of land, capital, and machinery has had its time; that it is
condemned to disappear; and that all requisites for production must, and will, become the
common property of society, and be managed by in common by the producers of wealth. And
in common with the more advanced representatives of political radicalism, they maintain that
the ideal of the political organization of society is a condition of things where the functions of
government are reduced to a minimum, and the individual recovers his full liberty of initiative
and action for satisfying, by means of free groups and federations—freely constituted—all the
infinitely varied needs of the human being.
As regards socialism, most of the anarchists arrive at its ultimate conclusion, that is, at a
complete negation of the wage-system and [thus] at communism. [….] We maintain, moreover,
not only that communism is a desirable state of society, but that the growing tendency of
modern society is precisely toward communism—free communism—notwithstanding the
seemingly contradictorily growth of individualism. In the growth of individualism (especially
during the last three centuries) we see merely the endeavors of the individual toward
emancipating himself from the steadily growing powers of capital and the State.” — Peter A.
Kropotkin, from his pamphlet, Anarchist Communism: Its Basis and Principles (Freedom Press,
1891), reprinted in Anarchism: A Collection of Revolutionary Writings, edited by Roger N. Baldwin
(Dover, 2002).
