Routledge Logics of Genocide - Philosophy and Social Science

Explore the deep connection between the formal structure of agency and the formal structure of genocide in this academic work from Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy. This book examines genocidal violence as a structural element within the contemporary world through various philosophical approaches. Readers will examine whether specific mechanisms or structures within nation-states create types of national citizens who are more susceptible to genocidal projects. The text addresses the powerful philosophical arguments suggesting that to be the subjects of our own lives, we must constitute ourselves as national subjects and organize into nation-states. This volume provides a serious investigation into the sociological and philosophical foundations of mass violence and state structure.
