Abstract:

In his last major work, "Ethics", Pyotr Kropotkin summed up the reflections of his entire life, both on the future construction of an anarchist society, and on setting the main priorities in matters of paramount importance of moral values for its emergence and existence. And he considered the emergence of a new ethics, which should be based on a new high morality, to be the main such priority. Morality for Peter Kropotkin is the most significant part of ethics; it is both beauty and harmony, both in nature and in the future anarchist society. In his book “Ethics”, Pyotr Kropotkin intended to outline only the main ideas, but he laid the foundation for the whole direction of the new anarchist morality.
