“My dissertation explores the possibility that the most important goal of anarchism—the exercise of individuality in the context of peaceable and egalitarian communities—is compatible with the existence of state authority. My position incorporates the insights of modern theorists such as Joseph Raz and Michael Taylor in dialogue with those of the first anarchist philosopher, William Godwin… I present and interpret his theory and its historical roots in the work of Richard Price and other Puritan writers”.
