- Description
- This book focuses on the ethical binds that emerge within the force field of violence. It argues that nonviolence is often misunderstood as a passive practice that emerges from a calm region of the soul, or as an individualist ethical relation to existing forms of power. Considering nonviolence as an ethical problem within a political philosophy requires a critique of individualism as well as an understanding of the psychosocial dimensions of violence. Butler tracks how violence is often attributed to those who are most severely exposed to its lethal effects. The struggle for nonviolence is found in movements for social transformation that reframe the grievability of lives in light of social equality.
