Anarchy

early nineteenth century with the knowledge of Greek, Latin and the fine arts. The acquisition of culture was a symbol of one’s elite status as these were the elements for a gentleman’s standard education. But Mathew Arnold in his Culture and Anarchy (1869) objects to this narrow definition of culture, terming it a combination of ‘Vanity and…

I agree with Hobbes about Anarchy resulting “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short”. Anarchy is a greek word that means no-ruler. No-ruler means no direction, but your own. Can you imagine living in a world where we all live with our own rules? It would be a crazy world. No matter how much I don’t agree with a lot of things that the government do or don’t do, I cannot imagine United States without a government. Without the government there wouldn’t be rules, we would basically live life…

the personal autonomy of an individual. Anarchists have also held a view that state keeps a punitive eye on its dissidents and every state protects the rights of the powerful (Ward 2004, P 2). It is for the above mentioned reasons that the word ‘anarchy’ has a negative connotation attached to it (Heywood 2007, p 175). However, anarchists have described the ideology as the real alternative to create a better world. It was after 1840, when Pierre-Joseph Proudhon used the term to describe his…

Chapter 7 of Anarchy, State, and Utopia begins with introducing a theory of distributive justice called “the entitlement theory”. In a just world, one is entitled to one’s holdings if the holdings are either the original acquisition or there is a transfer of holdings. No one is entitled to their holdings other than by those two principles. However, because we do not live in a just world, Nozick incorporates a third principle: the rectification of injustice. This theory was compelling throughout…

Anarchy. A word that draws to mind the images of freedom from the ‘norm’, a split aside from what is considered commonplace – the elimination of structure. The author of V for Vendetta, Alan Moore, takes on this central theme in a very peculiar fashion, as the main character identifies with a belief which a quick Google search relays the definition of, “a state of disorder due to absence or no recognition of authority.” V pronounces himself an anarchist, finding fault in all constitutional…

International anarchy is widely recognized as the fundamental element in the theory of realism. Under such an environment, states are the main players and are eager to seek for security and profits as international institution have minimal impacts on the global political system. Without the restraint from a well-established international law, the relationship between states becomes tenser and tenser as unreliability and sharp vigilance lead to eventual security dilemma, a state of chaos in which…

Anarchy is a misunderstood, uncertain, and clouded ideal of human potential. And even still, some who consider themselves anarchists do not consider it to be a political ideology at all. Anarchy has always been synonymous with disorder, but it has also become synonymous with destruction, riot, blatant lawlessness, and unhindered criminal activity. Let any nation go one day without government, order, or a ruling class; and people will be murdered and raped, the civilization will be burned to…

meaning that there is no dominant authority, all states are considered sovereign and in juridical terms equal and non-existent or weak institutions. Yet, they disagree about what the definition of anarchy is, what constitutes anarchy, what about anarchy causes states to act in certain ways and if anarchy can even be overcome in a meaningful way. On the other hand, Kang and Gilpin argue that the international system is “hierarchic” and not anarchic. This short review essay will first, examine why…
