Description
Stop Thief! Anarchism and Philosophy by Catherine Malabou challenges the conventional understanding of anarchism in philosophy. The author argues that many prominent thinkers, including Foucault, Derrida, and Agamben, have implicitly endorsed anarchist ideas without explicitly identifying as anarchists themselves.
This book calls out the appropriation of anarchism by philosophy, highlighting its relevance to contemporary debates about alternative political systems and the need for a new philosophical awakening. Malabou proposes a re-elaboration of anarchy centered on the concept of the "non-governable", which goes beyond mere disobedience or critiques of capitalism.
Malabou's work offers a fresh perspective on anarchism, one that seeks to question the legitimacy of political domination and unlock our confidence in the face of uncertainty. This thought-provoking book is an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, politics, and social change.
