Brown, Susan L.
Politics of Individualism: Liberalism - Liberal Feminism & Anarchism
Black Rose 200pp ISBN: 1-895431-78-6 $22.50
L. Susan Brown argues for a new vision of human freedom which incorporates the insights of feminism and liberalism into a form of anarchism based on what she calls 'existential individualism.' The work focuses specifically on the similarities and differences of these political philosophies, by critically examining the liberal feminist writings of John Stuart Mill, Betty Friedan, Simone de Beauvoir and Janet Radcliffe Richards, paying special attention to the issues of employment, education, marriage and the family, and governmental politics. These works are, in turn, compared and contrasted to the anarcho-feminism of Emma Goldman. Finally, as feminism as a whole movement is subjected to a rigorous critique, in terms of its overall liberatory potential, what emerges is a compelling look at feminist anarchism, describing 'what ought to be--and what could be.'

Kropotkin, Peter
Conquest Of Bread Vol #4
Black Rose 235pp ISBN: 0-921689-50-0 $21.70 Philosophy
In Kropotkin's own words, this book is "a study of the needs of humanity, and the economic means to satisfy them......The anarchists conceive a society in which all the mutual relations of its members are regulated... by mutual agreements between the members of the society and by a sum of social customs and habits... continually developing and continually readjusting in accordance with the ever-growing requirements of a free life stimulated by the progress of science, invention and the steady growth of higher ideals." The clearest statement of Kropotkin's social doctines.

Kropotkin, Peter
Ethics Vol #8
Black Rose 349pp ISBN: 1-895431-36-0 $25.50 Philosophy
A realist and a revolutionist, Kropotkin regarded ethics not as an abstract science of human conduct, but as a concrete scientific discipline, whose object it was to inspire people in their practical activities. According to his theory, mutual aid, justice and self-sacrifice are the three elements of morality and these elements lie at the basis of human ethics. He held that ethics should be one and the same for all people - that no matter what class or party one might belong, we were all, first of all, human beings. Informative and readable.
