Document Details : Title: Een kleine metafysica van geweld Subtitle: Arendt, Benjamin en Sorel in discussie? Author(s): LAUWAERT, Lode Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 77 Issue: 4 Date: 2015 Pages: 785-813 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.77.4.3139384 Abstract : In secondary literature one can often read that Arendt, when she writes about violence, differs from Benjamin and Sorel. Indeed, while she considers violence as something instrumental, the two others write about a kind of violence that does not serve a goal. In the present essay it is argued that this presentation of the debate is not correct, and that the relationship between the three philosophers regarding the issue of violence is more complex. |
