Visioni anarchiche, immaginari islamici. Uno studio sugli isomorfismi spirituali tra l’anarchismo e l’Islam

Abstract

This article aims to offer an overview on how Islamic anarchism can be conceptualized into the field of the history of political thought. This study is divided into three parts: a preliminary analysis of the relationship between the anarchist thought and the monotheistic conception of God, together with a focus on the anarchist orientalist visions on Islam. And a core part where a fragmented literature on Islamic anarchism is studied through the methodology of elective affinities. Presenting both the anti-authoritarian religious formulations of Muslim thinkers who lived during the ninth century in Basra, Iraq; and the anarchist Koranic exegesis of two contemporary Muslim activists: Mohamed Abdou and Abdennur Prado. The final result is an analysis of the isomorphism that have intervened between the Islamic thought and the anarchist one, across time and space.
