Saul Newman

Saul Abraham Newman ( born March 22, 1972) is an Australian political scientist who has emerged especially for his work on updating the anarchist theory.

Newman coined the term post- anarchism for an even auszuarbeitende political theory that any reception dating back to the 19th century, mainly attributable to Mikhail Bakunin, Pierre- Joseph Proudhon and / or Pyotr Kropotkin anarchist theories critically and means developed in the 20th century culture of philosophical concepts a stand brings the here and now can be justified anarchist practice. The title of his first book From Bakunin to Lacan (2001 ) indicates that the direction of modern theory he considers the modernization of anarchism suitable for: general of the French post-structuralism.

In this book, Newman pointed to the still unexplored role that can play (1845 ) in the postanarchistischen theory of Max Stirner book The Ego and Its Own. It will indeed often counted among the basic anarchist texts, but was itself only a very limited accepted by the anarchists, if not outright refusal. Also, none of the post-structuralists counts Stirner to his spiritual ancestors. Therefore, Newman wrote a series of articles in which he outlined his view was the previously unrecognized importance of Stirner for both schools of thought in the following years. He sees Stirner a key figure in the development of a postanarchistischen theory, which - according to the historic capitulations of the previous critical theories of society - should be able to subdue the current Western society a radical critique.

Newman calls Stirner a proto- post-structuralists, who had for a modern post-structuralists such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, Gilles Deleuze, and other anticipated in principle; they have but even transcends in principle to the other one and a half centuries ago. Stirner did what was none of the post-structuralists succeeded the basis for a "non- essentialist " - defined ideology critique of contemporary liberal capitalist society - which alone still thinking possible.

Newman clearly very ambitious theory is not yet available in closed form.
