Zenarchy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zenarchy is a political philosophy put forth by Kerry Thornley in a book of the same name.
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 Western ideas of anarchy. Like most Discordian theories, it incorporates both humor and serious thinking.
