Synopsis

Written by a founder of modern philosophical anarchism, this influential work sets out a clear, direct case against religion, framing it as a tool of the state. Bakunin argues that such power must be confronted in the pursuit of self-determination, offering a challenging perspective intended to unsettle even sceptical readers.

The focus is historical, and the text is positioned as both an introduction to anarchist thinking and a statement of atheism, suited to readers interested in political philosophy and the history of ideas.
