Synthesized answer
Based solely on the provided passages, the specific tenets of Tucker's philosophical anarchism that are deeply rooted in Warren's influence cannot be determined. The dedication in Passage 1 states that Josiah Warren's teachings were Tucker's "first source of light" [1], but the excerpt provides no details about what those teachings were. The remaining passages discuss Tucker's views on Manchesterism, competition, and monopoly, but they do not connect these ideas back to Warren or explain which of Warren's principles Tucker adopted.
Therefore, while the dedication clearly establishes Warren as a foundational influence, the passages contain no information about Warren's specific tenets. Consequently, it is impossible to hypothesize which of Tucker's anarchist principles are rooted in Warren's influence based only on this excerpt. The passages simply do not provide the necessary content to make that connection.

[ Liberty , April 14, 1888.] It is due to John Most to say that, in his paper Freiheit , he has greeted the appearance of Libertas in a spirit of entire fairness and liberality, at the same time that he has not hesitated to point out those of its features to which he cannot award approval. Besides giving liberal extracts from the first number, duly credited, he devotes nearly a column and a half to a review of its merits and demerits, which is…
an that? For the principle of Manchesterism is liberty, and consistent Manchesterism is consistent adherence to liberty. The only inconsistency of the Manchester men lies in their infidelity to liberty in some of its phases. And this infidelity to liberty in some of its phases is precisely the fatal inconsistency of the Freiheit school,—the only difference between its adherents and the Manchester men being that in many of the phases in which the latter are infidel the former are faithful, while in many of those in which the latter are faithful the former are infidel. Yes, genuine Anarchism is…

[ Liberty , September 1, 1888.] To the Editor of Liberty: Does compelition mean war? you ask, and then go on to answer: "The supposition that competition means war rests upon old notions and false phrases that have been long current, but are rapidly passing into the limbo of exploded fallacies."

More questions about this book
- Instead of simply defining "Philosophical Anarchism," explain how Tucker's concept, as presented in this excerpt, fundamentally redefines the relationship between "liberty" and "order," using his own words and implied arguments.
- Tucker asserts that abolishing rent and interest simultaneously abolishes "all those insignia of Politics." Unpack the precise chain of cause and effect he implies here. How do these economic practices, in Tucker's view, necessitate the existence of political structures, and why does their removal eliminate politics "at one stroke"?
- Tucker criticizes academics and clergy who "whitewash the sins of the plutocrats" by analyzing various social movements. If Tucker were to explain his own motivation for writing "A Fragmentary Exposition of Philosophical Anarchism," how would he articulate his distinct purpose or method to avoid being seen as another purveyor of "clerical or professorial analysis"?
- Proudhon's statement, "Liberty, Not the Daughter, but the Mother of Order," is central to Tucker's work. Explain how this aphorism fundamentally challenges conventional notions of how societal order is established and maintained. What practical implications would this redefinition of "order" have for the structure and daily functioning of a truly anarchistic society as envisioned by Tucker?
