Description

Critique of Violence offers a rigorous exploration of the fundamental tensions between poststructuralism and critical theory, two of modern philosophy's most influential intellectual movements. Beatrice Hanssen, a leading theorist in European philosophy, employs Walter Benjamin's seminal essay 'Critique of Violence' as a conceptual framework to examine the contentious dialogue between these traditions. Rather than emphasising conflict, Hanssen shifts focus towards productive exchange, identifying critique and violence as the essential meeting points where both schools of thought intersect and challenge one another. This volume, part of Routledge's Warwick Studies in European Philosophy series, positions the author between poststructuralism and critical theory, investigating the distinctive contributions each tradition brings to contemporary philosophical discourse. The work demonstrates how these seemingly opposed approaches can inform and strengthen one another through sustained theoretical engagement.

Key Features

Beatrice Hanssen uses Walter Benjamin's 'Critique of Violence' as a philosophical guide to analyse the debate between poststructuralism and critical theory.

The book emphasises dialogue and mutual exchange over struggle, reframing how poststructuralism and critical theory can constructively engage with each other.

This Warwick Studies in European Philosophy volume positions itself between both traditions to investigate their shared intellectual resources and divergent methodologies.

Hanssen examines critique and violence as the major conceptual meeting points where poststructuralism and critical theory converge and offer insights to one another.

Published by Routledge, the work provides a lucid and original investigation suitable for scholars and students of contemporary European philosophy and critical theory.
