Description
Violence and Nonviolence: Conceptual Excursions into Phantom Opposites
This thought-provoking book challenges traditional notions of violence and nonviolence, arguing that these concepts are not mutually exclusive. By examining the key literature on revolutionary violence and nonviolent approaches, Peyman Vahabzadeh reveals a complex relationship between the two.
Through a close reading of influential thinkers and theorists, Vahabzadeh proposes a new understanding of violence as inseparable from civilizations. The book concludes by exploring the possibility of a nonviolent future and reimagining the relationship between violence and nonviolence as concentric, rather than opposing forces.
