Towards the Critique of Violence
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-4742-4189-2 (ISBN)
Written by internationally recognized scholars, Towards the Critique of Violence is the first book to explore politico-philosophic implications of Benjamin's ‘Critique of Violence’ and correlative implications of Benjamin’s resonance in Agamben's writings. Topics of this collection include mythic violence, the techniques of non-violent conflict resolution, ambiguity, destiny or fate, decision and nature, and the relation between justice and thinking. The volume explores Agamben's usage of certain Benjaminian themes, such as Judaism and law, bare life, sacrifice, and Kantian experience, culminating with the English translation of Agamben's ‘On the Limits of Violence’.
Brendan Moran is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Calgary, Canada. Carlo Salzani is a translator and author based in Münster, Germany and editor, with Brendan Moran, of Philosophy and Kafka (2013).
