Links: Letters from an Inhabitant of Geneva to his Contemporaries (pdf) Researching the background and origins of anarchism means engaging to some extent with the works of most of the so-called “utopian socialists.” In recent years, I’ve had a chance to revisit and translate works by Pierre Leroux, Charles Fourier and some more obscure figure, but hadn’t had a chance to get reacquainted — and better acquainted — with Claude Henri de Rouvroy, comte de Saint-Simon. It has not been the most appealing of side-projects, simply because the literature of Saint-Simonianism is both extensive — 47 volumes in the main […]

Catherine Campoursi / Campoursy

August 15, 2021 Shawn P. Wilbur

To appreciate life, to taste with joy, even with delight all of the infinitely brief and fleeting moments, the succession of which forms the weft of our existence, to feel a pleasure in starting each new day; this is the only way of being desirable for an individual who has killed in themselves every germ of mysticism, and who scoffs at all forms of asceticism — holding this practice to be contrary to healthy equilibrium, as the prerogative of nervous temperaments and weak stomachs. If they do not possess this fund of optimism, life, for the free individual, has no reason to exist.

Benjamin R. Tucker (1854-1939)

July 5, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

While some of my earliest major projects focused on the work of Tucker and his circle, including the digitization of Liberty, Libertas and the Radical Review, my extensive notes have never been collected online. This page is finally an attempt to draw that material in one place, starting with the notes from the old Libertarian Labyrinth wiki and existing posts here in the main archive.
