Animalidade, pensamento e revolta: pensamento social e teoria do conhecimento em Mikhail Bakunin

Abstract

Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin was, without a doubt, the most important figure Anarchist Thought and one of the most important of the Movement Revolutionary / International Worker. He actively participated in the main uprisings nineteenth century revolutionaries, and engaged in important “clashes” with the most celebrated figures, of the international workers' movement, who were contemporaries of it. The return to Bakunin's social thought, shows, at least, an interesting effort, to the extent that that provides a critical look at our reality (issues such as those related to the Of the State, of Religion, those related to Ethnic groups, among others) in addition to the "lenses" offered by Marxist theorists, or even, insofar as it proposes a corporate project - and a method of action - founded on bases totally different from those of today's society, and not less "different" from those proclaimed by leftist groups that claim to be influenced by thought of the duo Marx and Engels. In addition to social thinking and / or socio-political theory, a plunge in the attempt to analyze a "Theory of Knowledge", present in the Bakuninian writings prove to be a relevant undertaking, insofar as it tries to open the perspective for another form of “apprehension of reality”. Such an undertaking it also makes it possible to think about the extraordinary vigor and timeliness of this author's thinking.
