1. pierre joseph proudhon

   Pierre Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865) was a French political philosopher, economist, and sociologist, often considered as the father of anarchism. He was the first person to declare himself as an anarchist and argued that society should be based on spontaneous order, with freedom replacing laws and governmental coercion. His most famous work is "What is Property?" where he argued that property is a form of theft. Despite his radical ideologies, Proudhon also believed in individual freedom, mutualism, and workers associations as the basis for a fair society.

1. Pierre Joseph Proudhon

   French anarchist and political thinker, born Besançon, 15 Jan. 1809. Self-educated he became a printer, and won a prize of 1,500 francs for the person “best fitted for a literary or scientific career.” In ’40 appears his memoir, What is Property? in which he made the celebrated answer “C’est le vol.” In ’43 the Creation of Order in Humanity appeared, treating of religion, philosophy and logic. In ’46 he published his System of Economical Contradictions, in which appeared his famous aphorism, “Dieu, c’est le mal.” In ’48 he introduced his scheme of the organisation of credit in a Bank of the People, which failed, though Proudhon saw that no one lost anything. He attacked Louis Bonaparte when President, and was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment and a fine of 10,000 francs. On 2 Jan. ’50 he married by private contract while in prison. For his work on Justice in the Revolution and in the Church he was condemned to three years’ imprisonment and 4,000 francs fine in ’58. He took refuge in Belgium and returned in ’63. Died at Passy, 19 Jan. 1865. Among his posthumous works was The Gospels Annotated, ’66. Proudhon was a bold and profound thinker of noble aspirations, but he lacked the sense of art and practicability. His complete works have been published in 26 vols.
