Public ISBD Titre : Antibodies, anarchangels and other essays Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Cudenec, Auteur Editeur : Winter Oak Press Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 1 vol. (143 p.) Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 27x15 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-9576566-1-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 320.57 Anarchisme Résumé : In this collection of essays, Paul Cudenec calls for a new deeper level of resistance to global capitalism - one which is rooted in the collective soul not just of humankind but of the living planet. He leads us along the intertwining environmental and philosophical strands of Antibodies, through the passion of Anarchangels and The Task and on to a cutting analysis of Gladio, a state-terrorist branch of what he calls the "plutofascist" system. Also included, alongside short pieces on Taoism and Jungian psychology, is an interview with the author, in which he explains key aspects of his approach. "Very readable and profoundly thoughtful... Many new insights on the destructive relationship between the greater part of humanity and the planet which tries to sustain them." Peter Marshall, author of Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism and Nature's Web: An Exploration of Ecological Thinking.

Forms of freedom / Paul Cudenec

Public ISBD Titre : Forms of freedom Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Cudenec Editeur : Winter Oak Press Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 1 vol. (173 p.) Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-9576566-5-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 120 Épistémologie, causalité, genre humain Résumé : In this important work, Paul Cudenec challenges layer upon layer of the assumptions that lie largely unchallenged beneath contemporary industrial capitalist society. He rejects limited definitions of freedom as an absence of specific restraints in favour of a far deeper and more radical analysis which describes individual, collective, planetary and metaphysical levels of freedom. A powerful and tightly-argued work inspired by a profoundly coherent anarchist vision, Forms of Freedom is a potential classic of 21st century revolutionary philosophy. “How can the human race embrace freedom if it does not have a clear idea of what freedom is? How can we ever gain a clear idea of freedom if we do not even start looking for it in the right places? A collective delusion has taken over humanity, fogged its mind, rendered it incapable of understanding its own essential reality or the way in which it has become blinded to that reality and thus incapable of acting in its own real interests”.

Nature, essence & anarchy / Paul Cudenec

Public ISBD Titre : Nature, essence & anarchy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Cudenec, Auteur Editeur : Winter Oak Press Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 1 vol. (162 p.) Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-9576566-8-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Anarchisme:21e siècle Index. décimale : 824 Essais de langue anglaise (Royaume-Uni) Résumé : At a time when the very future of our species and of planetary life is at threat from the unchecked growth of the industrial capitalist cancer, the need for a powerful and coherent resistance can hardly be disputed. Paul Cudenec argues that as well as fighting capitalism in a physical and day-to-day sense, we need to fight it on a philosophical level. “Humankind’s belonging to the living flesh of our planet is an essential reality of our innermost nature. A profound sense of this belonging will therefore always surface, time and time again, in the hearts and minds of each new generation, whatever the obstacles placed in its way by the dominant anti-natural system under which we live". "Infused by the gnosis of our ultimate belonging to The Universe, our necessary subjectivity is set free to be real, present and active at a particular place and at a certain time, to play its part in the self-shaping of history without the crippling fear of individual death – to joyfully accept the full responsibility of authentic human existence”. Note de contenu : Chapter headings: 1. Natural anarchy 2. Denying reality: from nominalism to newthink 3. When negative is positive 4. Essence and empowerment 5. Naturaphobia and the industrial-capitalist death cult 6. The eye of the heart 7.

The Anarchist Revelation / Paul Cudenec

Public ISBD Titre : The Anarchist Revelation : Being What We're Meant to Be Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Cudenec, Auteur Editeur : Winter Oak Press Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 1 vol. (144 p.) Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-9576566-0-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 320.57 Anarchisme Résumé : Here, Paul Cudenec turns his back on contemporary trends of anarchism in a bid to reconnect with the primal force of its root ideology. Cudenec notes the significance of its refusal of the state and its judicial system, of land ownership and of the need to work for wages in order to live. But he goes further in suggesting that anarchism represents a whole way of thinking that stands in direct opposition to the blinkered materialism of contemporary society and its soul-stifling positivist dogma. He writes: “The anarchist does not merely stray outside the framework of acceptable thinking as carefully assembled by the prevalent system – she smashes it to pieces and dances on the wreckage.” Cudenec explores the fluidity and depth of thinking found in anarchism, in stark contrast to Marxism, and identifies, in particular, a love of apparent paradox that seems to appeal to the anarchist psyche. He also sees a connection between and anarchism and esoteric forms of religion – such as Sufism, Taoism and hermeticism – whose inner light defies the crushing patriarchal conservatism and hierarchy of the exoteric institutions. In making his case, Cudenec draws on the work of anarchists such as Gustav Landauer, Michael Bakunin and Herbert Read. But he also widens the field of enquiry to include the philosophy of René Guénon, Herbert Marcuse and Jean Baudrillard; the existentialism of Karl Jaspers and Colin Wilson; the vision of Carl Jung, Oswald Spengler and Idries Shah, and the environmental insight of Derrick Jensen and Paul Shepard. The book is described by John Zerzan in Why Hope? The Stand Against Civilization as “the least pessimistic book I can recall reading… It brings anarchist resistance and the spirit together in a very wide-ranging and powerful contribution”. A review by anarchist writer Gabriel Kuhn adds: “The book attempts no less than equipping contemporary anarchism with a footing that is often neglected: the transformation not only of society’s structures but also of people’s souls”.

The Fakir of Florence / Paul Cudenec

Public ISBD Titre : The Fakir of Florence : A novel in three layers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Cudenec, Auteur Editeur : Winter Oak Press Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 1 vol. (296 p.) Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-9576566-6-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 823 Fiction de langue anglaise (Royaume-Uni) Résumé : Perantulo is a wandering sage, spreading his mystic pagan wisdom from Khaluvia to Mesqa-Murro, from the chestnut forests of Sevennola to the rain-lashed archipelago of Prydina. He is the fictional creation of il fachiro, an Eastern philosopher who arrived in Renaissance Florence in 1459 and challenged Cosimo di Medici and Marsilio Ficino’s Neoplatonist revival with his own empowering and anarchic metaphysics. Paul is a writer visiting 21st century Italy who, while laying himself open to inspiration from the energies and art of the Florentine past, comes across an historical account of il fachiro and his fables. But he, too, resides inside a book – on one of the three layers of reality within The Fakir of Florence.
