<b>A Little Philosophical Lexicon of Anarchism from Proudhon to
Deleuze</b><br>
Daniel Colson<br>
Translated by Jesse Cohn<br>
<br>
A provocative exploration of hidden affinities and genealogies in
anarchist thought<br>
<br>
Is the thought of Gilles Deleuze secretly linked to Pierre-Joseph
Proudhon’s declaration: “I am an anarchist”? Has anarchism, for
more than a century and a half, been secretly Deleuzian? In the
guise of a playfully unorthodox lexicon, sociologist Daniel Colson
presents an exploration of hidden affinities between the great
philosophical heresies and “a thought too scandalous to take its
place in the official edifice of philosophy,” with profound
implications for the way we understand social movements.<br>
<br>
“In a creative and yet precise way, Daniel Colson brings together
two lines of thought – philosophy from Spinoza to Leibniz – and
anarchism from Proudhon to the present day. At their intersection
he discovers an affirmative and expressive anarchism that rejects
all forms of resentment and negativity. This is anarchism as joy
and empowerment rather than sadness and accusation.” – Todd May,
author of The Political Philosophy of Poststructuralist Anarchism<br>
<br>
“Colson’s Lexicon is an inspiring resource for conceptualizing
anarchism: it offers new, exciting paths for exploring anarchism
with French thought and French thought with anarchism.” – Iwona
Janicka, author of Theorizing Contemporary Anarchism<br>
<br>
“Offers a line of thinking that connects disparate thinkers
ranging from Proudhon to Simondon to Nietzsche to Deleuze… What
emerges is a radical challenge to the insistence on dialectic
resolution, to occult left teleologies, and to the certainty that
past anarchists have nothing to say to contemporary anarchists.” –
James Martel, author of The Misinterpellated Subject<br>
