Daoism and Anarchism

About “Daoism and Anarchism”

This volume in the Contemporary Anarchist Studies series examines anti-statist critiques in ancient and modern China, arguing China does not have an unchallenged authoritarian political culture. It treats anarchism as a critique of centralized state power, examining radical Daoist thought from the 4th century BCE to the 9th century CE and surveying anarchist themes in dissident thought in the People's Republic of China from 1949 to the present.
