图书描述

We live in a time when we are overwhelmed with talk and images of violence. Whether on television, the internet, films or the video screen, we can’t escape representations of actual or fictional violence - another murder, another killing spree in a high school or movie theatre, another action movie filled with images of violence. Our age could well be called “The Age of Violence” because representations of real or imagined violence, sometimes fused together, are pervasive. But what do we mean by violence? What can violence achieve? Are there limits to violence and, if so, what are they?

In this new book Richard Bernstein seeks to answer these questions by examining the work of five figures who have thought deeply about violence - Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, Frantz Fanon, and Jan Assmann. He shows that we have much to learn from their work about the meaning of violence in our times. Through the critical examination of their writings he also brings out the limits of violence. There are compelling reasons to commit ourselves to non-violence, and yet at the same time we have to acknowledge that there are exceptional circumstances in which violence can be justified. Bernstein argues that there can be no general criteria for determining when violence is justified. The only plausible way of dealing with this issue is to cultivate publics in which there is free and open discussion and in which individuals are committed to listen to one other: when public debate withers, there is nothing to prevent the triumph of murderous violence.

Review

"A valuable book not only because it recognises the impossibility of timeless criteria for thinking about violence and the naïvety of an appeal to absolute non-violence, but also because it raises questions about the nature of political responsibility."

Review 31

"A major contribution to the seemingly intractable question of violence and nonviolence by one of the greatest philosophers of our time. I cannot recommend it highly enough."

Simon Critchley

"No one can converse with thinkers of the past or present like Richard J. Bernstein does. In the brilliant and timely hermeneutic exercise of this book, he provides us with new ways to understand the phenomenon of violence and its dialectical relation to public power and freedom."

Rainer Forst, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main

因为书里这部分的讨论对我来说很有启发性,记录一下。 RB对阿伦特On Violenc的梳理很清晰,也把power-violence的区分放在了阿伦特自己一贯的action-fabrication对立里去谈,也正因如此RB的两个批评才极有分量: (1)阿伦特将liberty和public freedom区分开,且前者(as liber...

雖然作者沒有詳細論述,但是這裡面仍然有幾個特點來串起全書。 首先是法律,這裡的法律不只是國家強制實施的法規,而是指主權者(律法主體)如何政治性地實現他的主權地位並且構建政治體制(施密特因此作出政治和道德的區分),阿倫特則相反,她希望的政治制度是分開權力和暴力...
