Der Blick auf das Außerordentliche der Gewalt reicht nicht hin, um dieses Phänomen in seiner Funktion und Bedeutung für soziale bzw. pädagogische Verhältnisse zu verstehen. Gewalt wird gemeinhin als das begriffen, was die Geregeltheit des Sozialen gleichsam von außen in Frage stellt. Als wichtige pädagogische Reaktionsformen erscheinen deshalb Prävention und Intervention, um die geregelte Ordnung des Sozialen aufrechtzuerhalten oder wiederherzustellen. Hierbei wird übersehen, dass die Herbeiführung und Stabilisierung von Ordnungen selbst in Gewalt verstrickt sind und dass Gewalt gar nicht kopflos, sondern im Zusammenhang mit Kalkülen und Rationalitäten operiert. Es ist mit-hin notwendig, die Gewalt in der Logik des Sozialen bzw. Pädagogischen aufzuzeigen und zu analysieren. Dabei zeigt sich aber auch die Schwierigkeit einer 'Verfügung' über Gewalt - in der Bestimmung, wo sie 'beginnt', und bei dem Versuch, sie zu verstehen.

This book, which is the result of a project of Research of Relevant National Interest (PRIN 2007), presents an overview of theoretical-political thought as a challenge to centralism, starting from the late Middle Ages and the Modern Age through to the twentieth century. As against a 'vertical' vision of European politics which, from Machiavelli to Mosca, favours the hierarchical nature of power relations, the essays collected here are presented as a number of brief chapters in the history of the 'horizontal paradigm' in European political thought. They demonstrate the wealth and the persistence of a tradition and of the myriad experiences and theorisations that have, in effect, proposed forms of decentralisation and of association frequently coexisting with centralism, as in the case of the autonomies within the system of the great national states.

Written at a time when violence has many faces and goes by many names, this collection is proof that philosophy can remain a vital partner in the twin tasks of diagnosis and action. Emerging across specters of genocide, racism, oppression, terror, poverty, or war, the threat of violence is not only concrete and urgent, but all too often throws the work of critical reflection into vulnerable paralysis. With essays by some of today's finest scholars, these pages breathe new life into the hard work of intellectual engagement. Philosophers such as Peg Birmingham, Robert Bernasconi, and Bernhard Wa

This volume offers new and fascinating insights into some of the most urgent and relevant dimensions of violence in our time. Specialists from a broad range of disciplines explore some of the reasons and ways in which humans choose to harm one another. The two sections of the book engage a common theme, namely how ideological constructions influence, facilitate, and shape the understanding of our own involvement in violence. Whilst the first section focuses on one specific form of violence, namely genocide, the second explores our construction of violent images: verbally, visually, aurally, legally, socially, imaginally. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand the multi-faceted and complex dimensions of violence in our contemporary, global world.
