Quote by Herbert Read

I am not going to claim that modern anarchism has any direct relation to Roman jurisprudence but I do claim that it has its basis in the laws of nature rather than in the state of nature.

I am not going to claim that modern anarchism has any direct

Summary

This quote suggests that while modern anarchism may not draw direct inspiration from Roman jurisprudence, it is rooted in the laws of nature rather than the state of nature. It implies that anarchism, as a political ideology, is not reliant on established systems of government or structures of authority. Instead, it asserts that the principles of anarchism are derived from natural principles, suggesting a belief in individual freedom and non-coercion as fundamental to societal organization. By separating anarchism from the state of nature, it suggests that it is a deliberate and conscious departure from traditional social and political norms.
