Philosophy of Violence

26 Aug – 4 Sep
FACE-TO-FACE
Libera Pisano

The course aims to explore the multifaceted nature of violence and its theoretical implications within 20th-century philosophical thought. Beyond its mere political dimensions, violence raises a wide array of questions spanning from human rights to divine authority, from revolution to governance, and from metaphysics to the philosophy of history. The course will consider Walter Benjamin’s pivotal fragment on violence, Hannah Arendt’s reflection on violence and power; Judith Butler’s assertive form of non-violence; and Elsa Dorlin’s study on self-defence as a means of resistance for marginalized bodies.
