Résumé anglais Ya'acov Oved, The future society according to Kropotkin. This article reviews the development of Peter Kropotkin's views on the future society since 1873, and traces the stages of the elaboration of his anarcho-eommunist vision. Kropotkin's theory of mutual aid as a factor of survival is presented as the basis of the world view which buttresses the structure of the future society. A special attention is given to the notions of the spontaneous character of the transitional stage of the social revolution preliminary to the emergence of the new society. The article describes extensively the values and social structures which will be embedded in the post-revolutionary era. Subjects such as the system of rewards according to needs, the integration of industry and agriculture, the combina- tion of manual and intellectual work, the integral education, and women's liberation, are presented as highlights of the character and scope of this Utopian vision. The article concludes with an evaluation and criticism of Kropotkin's approach based on the assessment of contemporary scholars as well as rivals and anarchist partners.
