Georges Sorel (1847–1922) was a French philosopher, social theorist, and revolutionary syndicalist. He is best known for his critiques of capitalism and socialism, as well as his advocacy for direct action and the power of myth in politics. Sorel's most influential work, "Reflections on Violence" (1908), argues that the use of violence is a legitimate and necessary means of achieving social change, particularly in the context of labor movements.
