Anarchy as Order: The History and Future of Civic Humanity (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780742556737)

This original and impressively researched book explores the concept of anarchy--"unimposed order"--as the most humane and stable form of order in a chaotic world. Mohammed A. Bamyeh traces the historical foundations of anarchy and convincingly presents it as an alternative to both tyranny and democracy. He shows how anarchy is the best manifestation of civic order, of a healthy civil society, and of humanity's noblest attributes. A cogent and compelling critique of the modern state, this provocative book clarifies how anarchy may be both a guide for rational social order and a science of humanity.
