Human Nature and Politics in Nineteenth-Century Social Anarchism","The study examines how conceptions of human nature shape and justify social change within nineteenth-century social anarchism. It analyzes the relationship between anarchism’s assumptions about egoism and sociability and its vision of a future stateless society through Proudhon, Bakunin, and Kropotkin. The work argues that these assumptions are fundamentally incompatible with anarchists’ obligation to build such a society. It concludes by proposing ways to reconceptualize human nature to address identified tensions and advance anarchist thought.","cbCaikDj7VjgVAHx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikDj7VjgVAHx","pdf",43792794,1,116,"English","en","# Contents\n## Preface\n## Acknowledgements\n## 1.
