Description

Explore the complex evolution of how we understand violence in this academic collection from Routledge. While traditional philosophical discussions often limited the scope of violence to physical acts or warfare, the twentieth century introduced a shift toward seeing violence as a deep conceptual problem. This book tracks that change, starting with the influence of Walter Benjamin's 1921 essay, "Critique of Violence." This volume brings together an international group of scholars to examine the transition from critical theory to biopolitics. By engaging with the ideas of major thinkers such as Agamben, the text investigates how the definition of violence has expanded and transformed over time. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in contemporary philosophy and the historical shifts in political and social thought. This work provides a rigorous framework for understanding how modern theory addresses the fundamental aspects of the human condition through the lens of violence.
