Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865) was a French anarchist, socialist, philosopher and economist who founded mutualist philosophy and is considered by many the father of anarchism. He was the first person to publicly call himself an anarchist and is widely regarded as one of the most influential theorists of anarchism. Elected to the French Parliament after the Revolution of 1848, he later described himself as a federalist, and framed the liberty he sought as a synthesis of community and individualism; his mutualism is claimed by both individualist and social currents of anarchist thought.
