The Making of Kropotkin's Anarchist Thought

Examining the intersection of anarchism and bio-politics, this book highlights Petr Kropotkin's revolutionary ideas as deeply rooted in contemporary scientific thought. It reveals how Kropotkin viewed health, illness, and societal conditions as central political issues rather than mere metaphors. By framing the state, capitalism, and revolution as medical concerns, he emphasized their measurable impact on individuals and society through social statistics. This innovative perspective offers a fresh understanding of Kropotkin's contributions to anarchist theory.
