Reflections on Violence
ISBN: 9781859841150 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Genocidal wars, concentration camps, firebombed cities, spreading plagues of private blood-letting: the 20th century has seen more than its share of violence, planned and unplanned. Thanks in part to global media coverage, the whole world feels increasingly filled with violence and yet, argues John Keane, among the paradoxes of this long century of violence is the paucity of imaginative reflection on the conceptual meaning, causes and effects, and ethical-political implications of violence.
