Identity and Violence Book by Amartya Sen (Farsi)

Identity and Violence: The Illusion of Destiny by Nobel laureate Amartya Sen is a profound examination of how simplistic and singular notions of identity contribute to global conflicts. Sen critiques the "solitarist" perspective, which reduces individuals to a single affiliation—be it religion, ethnicity, or culture—arguing that this narrow view fosters division and violence. He advocates for recognizing the multifaceted nature of human identity, emphasizing that individuals simultaneously belong to various groups and communities. By embracing this complexity, societies can promote tolerance and understanding, countering the narratives that lead to strife.
