What is Property?

By: Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Proudhon's most famous declaration that "property is theft" comes from this, his most famous work, published in French in 1840; the English translation dates from 1890. According to Proudhon, only that which is being used is real property. Land must be lived on or farmed to be property, and goods must have been made by one's own labor to be owned. These new definitions challenge the very basis of capitalist systems, and Proudhon used them as the foundation for his writings in support of anarchy. Activists, historians, and philosophers will find themselves pondering his arguments long after they have finished reading.

What Is Property?

An Inquiry Into the Principle of Right and of Government

By: Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

When Pierre-Joseph Proudhon frst published What Is Property? in 1840, he was the frst self-proclaimed anarchist. This book was merely the beginning to his political ideals that led him to later become known as a leading social thinker during and after the French Revolution of 1848. In this book, Proudhon explores how proprietors of property rob the laborers of their wage. On a number of occasions, Proudhon's passionate and controversial beliefs created problems for him with government authorities and other political thinkers alike. In one of his trials, Proudhon was declared innocent because the jury could not understand his arguments, and therefore could not condemn his statements. On top of being a radical anarchist, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was a French printer and philosopher, and his works inﬂuenced and contended with other pivotal schools of thought of the period. As a libertarian socialist, Proudhon found himself disagreeing with other political fgures at the time, like Karl Marx, on issues of property and freedom. As he traveled the countryside working various printer and editor positions, Proudhon witnessed and wrote about many of the socioeconomic injustices that oppressed the French working class. Proudhon's writing had the most profound eﬀect upon workers' movements and the peasantry due to his humble roots.

The General Idea of the Revolution in the 19th Century

By: Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

The General Idea of the Revolution in the Nineteenth Century is an influential manifesto written in 1851 by the anarchist philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. The book portrays a vision of an ideal society where frontiers are taken down, nation states abolished, and where there is no central authority or law of government, except for power residing in communes, and local associations, governed by contractual law. The ideas of the book later became the basis of libertarian and anarchist theory, and the work is now considered a classic of anarchist philosophy.

War and Peace

On the Principle and Constitution of the Rights of Peoples

By: Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

War and Peace by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, originally published in 1861, is still one of the only extended accounts of anarchist international theory and is one of the earliest in the history of socialist thought. It is a profound contribution to the traditions of jus gentium and just war theory, that puts force and power at the centre of analysis. Alex Prichard’s introduction describes both its specificity and the multiple lines of influence War and Peace had on thinkers as diverse as Tolstoy, Sorel, French sociology more broadly, and post-1945 Anglo-American International Relations theory.
