Émile Armand was born on 26th of March, 1872 in Paris, France. He was a self-proclaimed anarchist individualist, pacifist and supporter of free love. Armand wrote extensively on his theoretical ideas, contributing to various anarchist publications, informing and influencing the anarchist movements across the globe. His ideologies were shaped by his opposition to the concept of state and his criticisms of organized religions and institutional marriage.
Armand's major contribution lies in his promotion of anarchy through his writings. He consistently argued for the individual's unhindered right to explore self-satisfaction and happiness, without the interference and constraint of the state. His promotion of free love was a critique of marriage as an institution imposed by the state and church. These concepts stirred a critical dialogue within the anarchist communities and helped shape anarchist individualism. Armand passed away on 19th February 1962, leaving a significant body of work that continues to influence anarchist philosophy and inspire succeeding generations of anarchists.
