Topology of Violence: A Critique of the Positivity Society of Late Modernity
9.99 €
In this essay, Byung-Cheol Han draws on the views of prominent twentieth-century thinkers interested in violence to paint a symptomatic picture of twenty-first-century global capitalist society.
Khan proposes to see the history of violence as a cascade of continuous transformations. Today, the executioner and the victim coexist in each of us, and violence itself becomes positive and merges indistinguishably with its opposite, freedom. Can the efficiency and productivity that everyone strives for in a highly competitive labor market be considered violence? Is the luxurious lifestyle of a successful person really self-violence? What should one do to become healthier and happier? Like any good philosophical book, The Topology of Violence offers a broad enough perspective to pose these questions and try to find answers.
