Philosophical Anarchism
“The existence of authority does not yet prove its right to command.”
01 / SUMMARY
In short
Philosophical anarchism questions state legitimacy or a general duty to obey. Political anarchist traditions also propose diverse forms of voluntary association, mutual aid, and non-hierarchical power.
03 / SCENE
In the wild
A sensible law may give reasons to comply without establishing that every law deserves obedience because the state issued it.
04 / LIMIT
The limit
Anarchism does not mean chaos, lack of coordination, or a necessary defense of violence.
FINAL NOTE
What remains
Separate an institution's usefulness from its claim to moral authority.
