Description

While interest in Proudhon's work has undergone a revival in the last couple of decades in the English-speaking world, his theories about society remain little known. Ansart's book renders the complexity of Proudhon's thought intelligible and emphasises how Proudhonian ideas remain relevant today. Ansart explores the similarities between Proudhon and Marx's thought, including the influence that Proudhon's economic writings and theories of the state had on Marx. A year before the publication of Sociologie de Proudhon (1967), Henri Lefebvre published Sociologie de Marx as part of the same academic series. Both indispensable books, which were available to French students at the time of the strikes of May-June 1968, had a real impact on the theoretical education of that generation - and on generations since. This English-language edition contains an introduction by Rene Berthier, annotations by the translators and editor, and an additional piece by Ansart titled 'Proudhon Throughout History.'

Author Biography:

Pierre Ansart (1922-2016) taught at Université Paris-Diderot and made contributions to the field of sociology with a multidisciplinary approach that incorporated history and psychology as well as Western and Eastern intellectual traditions. Ansart is the author of over twenty books. Cayce Jamil (he/him) has a PhD in Public Policy from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His research focuses on developing social theory, and he has written on Proudhonian thought and its implications for sociology. Shaun Murdock (he/him) translates texts on the themes of economy, society, and environment from French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Catalan into English. René Berthier (he/him) is a French libertarian and anarcho-syndicalist activist. In 1972, he joined the CGT trade union confederation in the printing industry. It was while working in a large Parisian printing house that he completed a master's degree in English (thesis on William Godwin) at the Sorbonne in 1974. Now retired, he devotes himself to writing in the theoretical and historical field. Jesse S. Cohn (he/him) is the author of Underground Passages: Anarchist Resistance Culture, 1848-2011 and the translator of Daniel Colson's Little Philosophical Lexicon of Anarchism From Proudhon to Deleuze. A board member of the Institute for Anarchist Studies, he teaches English at Purdue University Northwest.
