In its comparability of anarchist and poststructuralist idea, From Bakunin to Lacan contends that the main urgent political challenge we are facing this present day is the proliferation and intensification of strength. Saul Newman objectives the tendency of radical political theories and routine to reaffirm strength and authority, in numerous guises, of their very try to conquer it. In his exam of thinkers akin to Bakunin, Lacan, Stirner, and Foucault Newman explores vital epistemological, ontological, and political questions: Is the fundamental human topic the purpose of departure from which strength and authority should be hostile? Or, is the humanist topic itself a domain of domination that needs to be unmasked? because it deftly charts this debate's paths of emergence in political inspiration, the booklet illustrates how the query of crucial identities defines and re-defines the bounds and probabilities of radical politics this present day.

Anarchism, on the other hand, has, through its confrontation with Marxism, opened the way for a critique of these noneconomic forms of power. By breaking the hold economic determinism had on radical political theory, anarchists have allowed power to be studied in its own right. Anarchism has freed political power from the economic, and this makes it important for political theory. However, anarchism is more than just a critique of Marxism. It is a philosophical system that incorporates theories of power, subjectivity, history, freedom, ethics, and society.
