The Karl Hess Chair in Social Theory is named in honor of the distinguished anarchist activist and strategist Karl Hess. Hess modeled the radicalism, human decency, commitment to civility, and bridge-building seriousness that the Center for a Stateless Society embraces.
Appointment to the Karl Hess Chair signals a scholar’s capacity to contribute, in outstanding ways, to that interdisciplinary field of social theory – drawing on resources in economics, philosophy, sociology, history, and other fields – known as left-libertarian market anarchism.


Karl was a friend and a mentor. I am delighted to see him remembered in this way.
What are the logistic details of this chair? Is c4ss currently raising funds for it? How does one contribute? Will it be a residency through c4ss?
Daniel, not to sound crass or overly eager for cash, but the Center is always accepting contributions – large or small – to support Kevin's work and the work of all of our writers and supporters. We are happy to accept anything you would like to donate.
