Kropotkin roots ethical life in something far older and more universal: the mutual aid practices that allow social species to survive.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrigin and Development\u003c\/i\u003e, the first volume, has been out of print since its original 1924 English translation. In this work, Kropotkin explains why a new approach to thinking about ethics is needed and what the social and natural bases are on which this new ethics can be built. He engages with the long history of ethical theory in Europe, offering critical readings of figures from Plato to Robert Owen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Kropotkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798887440316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PM Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Peter Kropotkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852686274815,"sku":"9798887440316","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethics-peter-kropotkin-9798887440316","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
