About this listen

 In Volume 2 of his groundbreaking work, Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, William Godwin lays the foundation for the concepts of anarchism—long before the term was coined. He provocatively argues that laws are not born from the wisdom of our ancestors but are instead the byproducts of their fears, ambitions, and rivalries. Godwin asserts that the solutions offered by these laws often exacerbate the very problems they aim to address. Join us as we explore these revolutionary ideas, summarized by Peter Kropotkin.Copyright Politics, Philosophy, Religion Philosophy Political Science Politics & Government Social Sciences
