Making Sense of Anarchism 
Errico Malatesta’s Experiments with Revolution, 1889-1900

Can we make sense of anarchism or is that an oxymoron? Guided by the principle that someone else’s rationality is not an empirical finding but a methodological presumption, this book addresses that question as it investigates the ideas and action of one of the most prominent and underrated anarchists of all times: the Italian, Errico Malatesta.
