On Violence, one of the greatest political thinkers of the 20th century, Hannah Arendt, is a compact essay on political theory written in the wake of the 1968 student protests. The book radically rethinks the phenomenon of violence, which has traditionally been considered, if not the basis of power, then one of the main ways of its implementation, - according to Arendt, if we consider power to be a legitimate form of domination inherent in any group of people acting in concert, violence turns out to be its complete opposite - its use is always result of the weakness of power and continues to destroy it.The publisher's layout has been saved in a4.pdf format.
