Primitivism is a philosophy advocating a return to a pre- industrial and usually pre- agricultural society. It is usually considered to be an anarchist philosophy.
Primitivism can also refer to any philosophy which seeks to return to the roots of a larger movement, such as Muslims and Christians who seek to return to the first few centuries of Islam or Christianity.
Primitivism believes that industrial society inevitably produces oppressive structures through specialization of tasks or division of labor, and that technology has similar negative implications. Some forms of primitivism question civilization itself.
The primitivist movement has connections to radical environmentalism.
Primitivism has been notably advocated by John Zerzan, and to some extent by Theodore KaczynskiTheodore Kaczynski (born May 22, 1942) is a Polish-American terrorist who attempted to fight against what he perceived as the evils of technological progress by engaging in an almost eighteen-year-long campaign of sending mail bombs to various people, kil (the Unabomber) and Derrick JensenDerrick Jensen an American author who lives in Northern California, has published several books which challenge contemporary society and cultural values, including The Culture of Make Believe (2002), and many essays. Jensen emphasizes the hate, dishonesty.
