For many people Mikhail Bakunin is considered to be much morea poltiical activist than a political thinker. And for many of thosewho regard him as serious political thinker Bakunin’s philosophy isapproached as another version of socialism mostly influenced by Marx,but more simplified and less scientific. To use the terminology preferredby Engels, Bakunin’s thought closely resembles utopian socialism. It isa kind of primitive version of historical materialism. It is fairly easy tosupport this view. In his writings, especially in his later period, Bakuninaccepts many of the principles which are linked to hard core materialism.Nonetheless, if we follow his thinking under this perspective we will failto understand the passion with which the Russian thinker defends liberty.Liberty is almost metaphysical in Bakunin’s thought. Anything that standsagainst liberty has to be terminated. Liberty is good, it is only good andit is the outmost of goods. Ιt is difficult to reach this conclusion startingfrom a purely materialist basis. Moreover it is impossible to reach thisconclusion from an authoritarian marxist basis. This is the reason whythe most popular approaches of Bakunin fail to understand the depthof his thought. In contrary, if the scholar is willing to follow Bakunin’searly tracks, to focus in his first philosophical readings that helped theformation of his thought, a different portrait will come to life. Bakunin’sthougth has been inspired by the readings on the field of German Idealism.Kant, Fichte and hegel played a significant part in forimg the core ofBakunin’s thought. There is no doubt that Proudhon, Marx and othersinfluenced him later on in his life. But the idea of liberty, the keystone ofBakunin’s philosophy can not be fully understood independentely of hisearly Kantian studies. (EN)
