Why'd you wanna go read that pap for, anyway?

It's a personal interest, I suppose. I've only grazed the surface of anarchist politics, but the stuff I did find intrigued me enough to make me want to know more. That, along with the fact that a bunch of poets and artists I really respect tout anarchy as their inspiration, is why I'm looking to read up on it.

If the latter, go for some of the classic stuff: Aristotle, Plato's Republic, or if you're interested in the language of philosophy, and the philosophy of language go for Wittgenstein.

I've studied classical philosophy in school, I'm all caught up on that stuff.
But I shall check out this Wittgenmeiser.

Only today I was thumbing through some philosophy stuff in a book shop, I was considering buying some Nietzsche. Been out of the game for too long.

Aye, Nietzsche sounds pretty fascinating.

MF is right - wouldn't a formal anarchist philosophy be a contradiction in terms?

I think not; anarchy is not perfectly synonymous with chaos. No government, yes, no ruling bodies, myes, but complete lack of order, not necessarily. Or at least that's my understanding. It's the different schools of thought and anarchist theories that interest me (as seen in the sidebar on
this page.)
