Question
What is centering theory all about?
Answer
Leopold Kohr rehabilitates anarchism as a political theory. “Violent Anarchists are actually rippers”. For Kohr, anarchism is the non-violent form of living together, and because of rationality every human being has the ability to treat other people with dignity and respect, to practice a jointly form of community in which free mutual appreciation is practiced on such a high level, that an external dominant power is unnecessary. So Kohr is diametrically opposed to the theory of order in a large group like for example Thomas Hobbes and David Hume. Of course the target of anarchism is utopian and will never be reachable completely. This at the same time is its power and protection against misuse through capitalistic and communistic ideologies: If a Leader/Party/Power claims to have reached the target of anarchism, he/she is a priori unmasked as an abuser because this target can only be striven for, and can never count as historical.
