MCAS would like to invite you to attend the online book launch of Cedric Cohen-Skalli's and Libera Pisano's collected volume "Skepsis and Antipolitics: The Alternative of Gustav Landauer." It will take place on Wednesday, 19 April 2023, at 18:00 on Zoom.

Gustav Landauer was an unconventional anarchist who aspired to a return to a communal life. His antipolitical rejection of authoritarian assumptions is based on a radical linguistic scepticism that could be considered the theoretical premise of his anarchism. The present volume aims to add to the existing scholarship on Landauer by shedding new light on his work, focussing on the two interrelated notions of skepsis and antipolitics. In a time marked by a deep doubt concerning modern politics, Landauer’s alternative can help us to more seriously address the struggle for a different articulation of our communitarian and ecological needs.
