The political theorist and author of The Origins of Totalitarianism offers an “incisive, deeply probing” essay on violence and political power (The Nation).Addressing the escalation of global warfare witnessed throughout the 1960s, Hannah Arendt points out that the glorification of violence is not restricted to a small minority of militants and extremists. The public revulsion for violence that followed World War II has dissipated, as have the nonviolent philosophies of the early civil rights movement. Contemplating how this reversal came about and where it might lead, Arendt examines the relationship between war and politics, violence and power. She questions the nature of violent behavior and identifies the causes of its many manifestations. Ultimately, she argues against Mao Tse-tung’s dictum that “power grow out of the barrel of a gun,” proposing instead that “power and violence are opposite; where the one rules absolutely, the other is absent.”“Written with clarity and grace, it provides an ideal framework for understanding the turbulence of our times.”—The Nation

PDF On Violence (Harvest Book) with Free EASY Reading!

This work was originally an essay, later published in book form, and has since become the standard reference on the nature of violence in politics. The fundamental thesis is that political power and political violence are opposites and that it is the power void that invites violence (by those trying hold onto attenuating power and by those trying to capture power) with all of its attendant consequences. It is not power that flows from the barrel of a gun, it is violence. However, this book is abstract and conceptual in nature, it is not a moral or ethical analysis of violence.What I enjoy most about reading Hannah Arendt is that she cannot be classified into a political school of thought, theoretical framework or political ideology. She is not a Marxist, or a Hegelian nor is she a classic liberal or a conservative. She is a not a libertarian nor a capitalist, socialist or communist. She is an independent thinker in political and social issues which is indeed a very rarefied quality that keeps her work relevant and fresh some forty years after her death. Only the examples in the text are dated, not the thinking or analysis offered.As America transforms itself into a quasi-plutocracy with the citizens of this society having too much to lose to allow anything, especially political violence, no matter the cause, interfere with the smooth workings of the consumer society, one might wonder how relevant a philosophical examination of political violence might indeed be under such circumstances. After all, the American techno-consumer lifestyle is non-negotiable and violence can only disturb an otherwise self-absorbed, self-satisfied, self-interested complacent citizenry. Hannah Arendt identified this process as already underway forty years ago as she saw participatory self-government giving way to indifferent bureaucracy. There is an ongoing attenuation of political participation, responsibility and thus political freedom on the part of the citizenry.Hannah Arendt points out that part of the problem is that we like to hold in high regard our governing principle of enlightened self-interest not realizing that self-interest cannot be enlightened because by definition self-interest is self-defined and self-centered and cannot be enlightened beyond itself. Self-interest and the public-interest have mismatching time horizons. Self qua self cannot be enlightened beyond the self and the American citizenry, in the midst of such self-ness may not be an enlightened enough citizenry with a broad enough perspective to maintain the constitutional framework. As Hannah Arendt points out, it is as if we are determined to repeat with great haste the very errors of the European nations that the framers of the Constitution sought to correct.Before we become even more complacent and self-absorbed, I think we should still consider Hannah Ardent’s very relevant and thoughtful analysis about the use and consequences of violence in political action before such violence rears up again with us little able to understand it and deal with it.In my own small way I have also prepared a summary of each of the three very engaging parts but elected not to post it with the understanding that perspective readers of a book of this caliber do not need a ‘Cliff Notes’ style summary in order to understand and evaluate the thesis as well as its implications for contemporary American political and social culture.
