Abstract

La violence constitue une réalité que la métaphysique ignore le plus souvent. Elle est pourtant, de tous temps et de tous lieux, une détermination qui appartient réellement à toute force, à tout acte, y compris à tout acte de liberté. Le concept de violence est aussi ample que celui d'acte d'être. Et pourtant l'homme raisonnable n'a cessé de vouloir régler la violence et de la surmonter. La paix est le bien le plus précieux qu'il désire. Cet ouvrage est composé de quatre parties. Dans la première partie est précisé le concept de violence. L'auteur prend pour hypothèse que l'acte d'être est essentiellement un acte de liberté et que la violence entre les humains est la plus significative et radicale qui soit. Les différentes formes de violence la manifestent d'ailleurs comme une force qui envahit avec précipitation un domaine autre que le sien, sans respect pour la temporalité propre de l'envahi. La deuxième partie s'attache aux ?uvres de la raison (intelligence). La raison moderne, qui veut avoir raison, est spontanément violente. La globalisation contemporaine participe à la violence réductrice des différences d'autrui, ou d'autrui en tant que différent, sous l'idée d'une " unité" formelle. Les chemins de la science sont cependant réellement complexes, autres que ce qu'en dit l'idéologie scientiste. La troisième partie envisage l'agir de l'homme en ses structures les plus essentielles (volonté). L'homme entend contrôler la violence qui lui est immanente en signant des contrats. La signification de la justice advient ainsi à l'intérieur de la conscience que l'homme prend de sa condition. Elle maintient en tant qu'équité l'exigence du respect d'autrui et de ses différences. La quatrième partie assume les lignes les plus fondamentales de la métaphysique contemporaine de l'acte d'être et de la différence ontologique, montrant en quel sens l'acte d'être, se posant a différent ". peut bouleverser sa différence en violence. L'analyse métaphysique est complétée par une réflexion sur l'homme en qui l'acte d'être advient à la lumière d'une reconnaissance spirituelle intersubjective (affectivité). L'idée de durée ou de temps d'être est alors reprise à l'intérieur d'une méditation sur la compassion et le pardon, qui se révèlent être les dispositions métaphysiques les plus essentielles.

Abstract

Political Violence in Ancient India argues that the idea of a nonviolent India is an artificial twentieth-century construct deeply influenced by Gandhi and Nehru. Ancient Indian history is marked by considerable violence of various kinds, as is the history of other parts of the world. However the issue of violence was debated in India with greater intensity than elsewhere. There was a recognition of the possibility of necessary force veering into violence, and of the strong tension between violence and nonviolence in the political sphere. This book looks at the evolution of the theory and practice of kingship and the attitudes towards political violence between c. 600 BCE and 600 CE by examining a vast array of texts, inscriptions, artistic representations, and numismatic and archaeological material. These include the ideas of Buddhism and Jainism; the emperor Ashoka; the Sanskrit epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata; the political treatise, the Arthashastra; and the poetry of Kalidasa. The book examines how the problem of the relationship between kingship and violence was addressed in general as well with reference to punishment, war and the forest.--

Abstract

Threat and Violence Interventions: The Effective Application of Influence evaluates threat and violence risk for various levels of mental health practitioners, law enforcement officers, security professionals, human resource professionals, attorneys, and academics in forensic psychology, sociology, criminology and law. Currently, both empirical and practical literature has focused, to an almost exclusive extent, on the assessment of human behavior and propensity for violence. However, most cases of high concern for potential physical violence arise from individuals who have yet to act in ways the criminal justice system can address. This book broaches the topic, exploring tactics and providing practical, concrete suggestions.

Abstract

"Imagine getting on the bus to go from one major city to another. It had been a long week and all you wanted to do is get home and take a nap while doing that. Imagine falling asleep and enjoying the rest on the bus. Now imagine as the bus is driving up a mountain you wake to hearing someone scream out something incoherent and you can feel the bus swerve to the right and through a road barrier and over the side of the mountain. Some of the people you are with on the bus fly out the window as it crashes down the mountain into a ravine while others fly around the bus slamming into each other, into metal and into shattering glass. As the bus slams down you can feel parts of your body break and you see other people die in front of you. You then lose consciousness. When you wake, you are lying outside the bus with glass and screaming people around you just above a bus that is now with its roof on the ground. Besides your own pain you can see the dead, the dying and the broken people all around you and dozens of people streaming down the valley to come help you and the people around you"--

Abstract

Summarizes the course, risk/protective factors, consequences and treatment/prevention of adolescent dating violence. Dating violence is defined as physical, sexual, psychological, and cyber behavior meant to cause emotional, physical, or social harm to a current or former intimate partner. The book discusses research design and measurement in the field, focuses on the recent influx of longitudinal studies, and examines prevention and intervention initiatives. Divided into five sections, the book begins by reviewing theory on and consequences of dating violence. Section II discusses risk factors and protective factors such as peer influences, substance use, and past exposure to violence in the family of origin. Section III discusses how social and cultural factors can influence teen dating violence, addressing the prevalence of dating violence among different ethnicities and among LGBTQ teens, and the influence of social media. Section IV discusses recent research priorities including gender inequality, measurement, psychological abuse, and the dual nature of dating violence during adolescence. Section V reviews evidence-based practice for treatment and prevention across various age groups and settings.
