The Basic Bakunin: Writings 1869-1871 (Great Books in Philosophy)

The three years covered by this anthology represent the only time in Mikhail Bakuninâ€™s life when he was able to concentrate on his work and sustain a consistent output of speeches and writings. Only one of these texts has appeared before in an unabridged English translation. All dating from the period of Bakuninâ€™s propaganda on behalf of the First International, they thus belong to a period central to Bakuninâ€™s anarchism and mark the height of his influence during his lifetime.

Robert M. Cutlerâ€™s introduction traces the development of selected themes in Bakuninâ€™s pre-anarchist thought--beginning with his acquaintanceship with German idealist philosophy-- through his anarchist period. In this way it reconstructs Bakuninâ€™s concept of the role of the International in the revolutionary movement and provides a new interpretation of his theory and practice of revolutionary organization. The chronology and annotated bibliography make this collection an ideal introduction to Bakunin and a useful reference work for specialists.
