Reflections on violence

---

The book Reflections on Violence offers a profound exploration of the nature, origins, and moral implications of violence within social and political life. Written in the early 20th century, it critically examines the relationship between power, authority, and legitimacy, arguing that violence—while often perceived as a tool for justice or revolution—can also undermine the very foundations of ethical and democratic order. The author analyzes different forms of violence, from state coercion to revolutionary action, and questions whether violence can ever be truly justified as a means to achieve social change. By blending philosophical reflection with political critique, this work remains a seminal contribution to the study of political theory, ethics, and social movements, inviting readers to reconsider the tension between moral principles and the pursuit of justice in human society.
