Zenarchy
|
|
Zenarchy is a political philosophy put forth by Discordianism co-founder Kerry Wendell Thornley in a book of the same name. It is a counter-cultural, Zen and Taoist-inspired theory of politics. Thornley defines it as follows: :*ZEN is Meditation. ARCHY is Social Order. ZENARCHY is the Social Order which springs from Meditation. :*As a doctrine, it holds Universal Enlightenment a prerequisite to abolition of the State, after which the State will inevitably vanish. Or - that failing - nobody will give a damn. Zenarchy is inspired by both Eastern Zen Buddhist and Taoist philosophies, and Anarchism. Like most Discordian theories, it incorporates both humor and serious thinking. Bibliography *Thornley, Kerry; Zenarchy, IllumiNet Press, June 1991 ISBN 0-9626534-1-1 (on-line version) |
