Phenomenological reflections on violence: a skeptical approach - 52 (1 [edition].)

Following up on his previous book, 'Violence and Phenomenology', James Dodd presents here an expanded and deepened reflection on the problem of violence.

The book's six essays are guided by a skeptical philosophical attitude about the meaning of violence that refuses to conform to the exigencies of essence and the stable patterns of lived experience.

Each essay tracks a discoverable, sometimes familiar figure of violence, while at the same time questioning its limits and revealing sites of its resistance to conceptualisation.
