Abstract
The paper discusses William Godwin's major work, "An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice", which is an early elucidation of the political theory of anarchism. The paper defines anarchism and then compares this work to Marx's "Capital" and "The Communist Manifesto". The paper explores why William Godwin's work has had less public exposure and popularity than either of Marx's works.

From the Paper
"While Karl Marx has become a famous thinker and philosopher through the wide dissemination of his two major works, Capital and The Communist Manifesto, a much lesser known figure has also contributed substantially to the perennial dialogue of radical political philosophies, and this man and his work is worthy of deeper analysis. This writer is William Godwin (1756-1836), who was nearly a contemporary of Marx and in his own way equally radical, yet significantly divergent in his thought. Godwin may be best known for having married the writer Mary Wollstonecraft, a groundbreaking feminist thinker in her own day, and for being the father of Mary Shelley of Frankenstein fame. Godwin's major work, An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice (1793) is an early elucidation of the political theory of anarchism, and is worth analyzing in terms of the similarities it shares with Marx's communism (Landry, para 16)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in the late nineteenth century, the movement known as Neo-Impressionism was influential in French art circles. The writer points out that one of its most prominent figures was the pointillist, Georges Seurat and that in 1884, as he was developing the pointillist technique for which he is largely remembered, Seurat met Paul Signac. The writer discusses that although their personalities were different, the two collaborated, with Signac regarded as secondary: talented, but overshadowed by a genius. After adopting pointillism at the inspiration of Seurat, Signac refined his technique from the fluid style which drew inspiration from the subject matter, to a controlled and refined art. In addition, the writer notes that Signac was torn between technical craft and the political movements of his day. The writer maintains that in recent years, the art community has re-examined its assessment of Signac, finding that he deserves more than the very secondary position to which he has typically been relegated.

From the Paper
"While Signac accepted this view, Seurat did not adopt the anarchism that many Impressionists including Signac endorsed. In January 1886, Paul Alexis, a journalist and supporter of the writer Emile Zola, launched a subscription fund for the support of striking miners. Like Signac, Seurat had inherited a comfortable setting, and preferred the amenities that it provided. While he wanted more artistic freedom that the traditional ruling Salon would allow, he was not an anarchist. Seurat did not contribute to Alexis' subscription; Signac and Camille Pissarro did."
"Signac was very much aware of the complex of political currents stirring in France. After 1888, he studied the works of Elisee Reclus, Kropotkin and Jean Grave, and eventually fell into the anarchist camp at least philosophically. Despite this, he regarded himself primarily as a painter rather than a political figure, and expressed himself in paint."

Abstract
This paper provides an introduction of the ideology of anarchism, where the government is typically perceived as evil as well as wholly unnecessary. It includes a background to the development of the theory and its main principles and assumptions. It also looks at a number of key examples throughout history such as Barcelona during the Spanish Civil war and the Paris Commune as well as the current standing of anarchism today.

From the Paper
"The individual within the Anarchism ideal is thus rational, but must also be to an extent compassionate, as Buchanan proposes in "The Limits of Liberty" individuals should be "dictated by mutual tolerance and respect." So with this understanding of the individual within anarchic society as a basis, a perception of Anarchism can be developed. Anarchy is most often defined as the "Lack of a centralized authority." Government is typically perceived as evil as well as wholly unnecessary. This can often have negative connotations, suggesting a lack of social direction and stability. Yet as Herbert Read proposes in his script, "Anarchy and Order," anarchy "is ambiguous" for . . . "without ruler," the literal meaning of the root of the word, is not necessarily "without order," the meaning often loosely ascribed to it.""

Abstract
This paper examines the paintings of Paul Cignac, a noted neo-impressionist and an anarchist during the turn of the last century. The paper pays specific attention to his painting "In Time of Harmony," as that represents an anarchist view of what will come after the downfall of society, with the return to the idyllic state in which man will be at leisure, freed from the tyranny of labor and able to enjoy the fruits of a verdant life.

From the Paper
"In the late nineteenth century, the movement known as Neo-Impressionism was influential in French art circles. One of its most prominent figures was the pointillist, Georges Seurat. In 1884, as he was developing the pointillist technique for which he is largely remembered, Seurat met Paul Signac. Although their personalities were different - Seurat, taciturn, self-driven, and almost anti-social; Signac gregarious, continually needing social contact and reinforcement to go forward - the two collaborated, with Signac regarded as secondary: talented, but overshadowed by a genius."

Abstract
This paper is about Emma Goldman and her various theories, political, societal and moral. It focuses on her forty years spent as an American, especially the years when she was an active member of the anarchist party. It details her involvement in the assassination of Henry Frick, and her accusal in the assassination of President McKinley. It also discusses how her divergent views involving feminism without suffrage, created isolation among politics that she lived with her entire life. Her involvement in the burgeoning sexual revolution and her persona as a figurehead of the atheists and a violent inciter is also expanded upon.

From the Paper
"Emma Goldman put very little worth upon the idea of government as a protector of the greater society. Emma Goldman rejected the idea that philosophy could ever be political and she spent her time and energy trying to defeat all types of organized government that she so detested. Her radical and uncompromising views on the nature of government left her without a political forum to embrace, and shaped her reaction to and participation in American anarchism."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the non-authoritarian form of communism in Anarres in "The Dispossessed," by Ursula LeGuin, is shown to be a higher form of government than capitalism in A-Io. The writer explains that in A-Io LeGuin is attempting to expose the fragilities, weaknesses and problems associated with capitalism, while the political system in Anarres works on the principle of mutual help and community work. Anarres has its flaws too, including poor education, lack of freedom, inability to conduct research and lowering standards of human relationships, but is seen as a better world because profiteering is missing and people are working together to protect resources. The paper concludes that Anarres has thus a much better political system than A-Io on Urras.

From the Paper
"By assigning this form of governance a non-authoritarian flavor, the author has widened the gap between real world socialist government and the brand of communism found on Anarres. Thus when we conclude that communism appeared to be a much better form of government than capitalism, it should not entail that we are supporting the type of communism found in countries like Russia. This is because the anarchist element on Anarres had eliminated the need for a regular governmental structure."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Hedley Bull wrote 'The Anarchical Society: A Study of Order in World Politics' thirty years ago; that was nearly twenty-five years before the September 11, 2001 attacks in the U.S. brought down the World Trade Center and changed the political climate worldwide. The writer discusses that nevertheless, what he wrote in this book in 1977 - and in other books and articles - is considered highly germane and pertinent to today's world order. The writer points out that scholars who have written about Bull's work have provided a variety of approaches to the value and tone of Bull's offering. This paper reviews and summarizes Bull's book, and provides insights from scholars who always seem to have heady comments and analysis when it comes to commenting on Bull's research and narrative.

From the Paper
"Bull is the kind of intellect and author who likes to break subjects down into categories; and albeit not all of his categories are neat little compartments, he does try to bring his reader to a point of understanding through a king of grouping and common sense explanations. On page 16 he brings his first chapter to a close - after discussing what he means by states, society of states and system of states - by setting out the three goals that societies are seeking to meet (or should be seeking to obtain) and sustain in this international order he describes. This is always instructive to the reader, as being able to anticipate what the author is tackling alerts a head's up consciousness."

Abstract
This paper examines how the roots of many of the beliefs, which fostered Emma Goldman's adoption of anarchism and desire to help the working class, were the teachings of her Jewish parents. It looks at how not only she opposed government, but how she believed that all forms of organizations, including that of religions, were frosted with a need to control individuals and was, therefore, detrimental to their freedom and rights to have an abundant life.

From the Paper
"In 1886, when Goldman immigrated to America, she was a young woman of 16 or 17. The following year, in 1887, she learned of the Chicago Haymarket massacre and trial. This knowledge affected her in a way that ignited the anarchic course her life then took. Not until she heard the history of the massacre and the trial from the lips of another young woman, Johanna Greie, was her passions aroused to such a degree as to invoke her into action. Goldman first heard Grie at a meeting of German Socialists in Rochester. Grier spoke to the group about the events that led up to the Haymarket incident--how it was a peaceful meeting of organized workers until the police attacked the workers. "

Abstract
The paper discusses and analyzes various perspectives on legal order. The paper examines different concepts, including Positivism, Marxism, Natural Law, Anarchism, Legal Realism, Feminism, and Critical Legalism. The paper analyzes the role that these theories played in Canadian lawmaking, determining that Positivism had the most influence on contemporary Canadian lawmakers.

From the Paper
"What is the purpose of law and why do we need it? Would society completely crumble into a chaotic mess if law did not exist? Well, from what I understand thus far, and from what I have seen on TV lately, law is important to maintaining order in society. Without law and order, anarchy would rule our lives. This sentiment was proven recently in the wake of hurricane Katrina. The devastation and human suffering is a result from lack of government organization."
