Description

Violence has long been recognised as a fundamental aspect of the human condition, yet philosophical inquiry traditionally confined itself to warfare and physical manifestations. This scholarly collection marks a significant shift in how violence itself became a conceptual problem worthy of critical examination. Guided by Walter Benjamin's pivotal 1921 'Critique of Violence' essay, which inaugurated this turn towards explicit questioning, the book assembles an international array of scholars engaging with how subsequent thinkers including Agamben have approached the meanings and implications of violence. Part of the Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy series, this volume bridges traditional philosophical frameworks with modern biopolitical concerns, offering readers a comprehensive exploration of violence as both historical phenomenon and theoretical concept that extends far beyond conventional definitions.
