On Violence by Hannah Arendt (Farsi)

Description

"On Violence" by Hannah Arendt is a significant work that delves into the nature and implications of violence in political and social contexts. In this book, Arendt explores the concept of violence, distinguishing it from power, authority, and force. She argues that violence is a tool that can be used to achieve political ends but is not a legitimate source of power or authority in itself. Arendt examines the role of violence in various political movements and regimes, emphasizing that while violence can be effective in achieving short-term goals, it often undermines the legitimacy and stability of political systems in the long run. She explores how violence can disrupt social order and lead to the erosion of political institutions. In "On Violence", Arendt also addresses the relationship between violence and the modern state.
