Description

Wedding an analysis of relevant anthropological literature and philosophical theory, this important book re-positions violence - long trivialized by philosophers as an incidental or anomalous feature of humanity - as a central concern for ethical thought. Wendy C. Hamblet focuses on a fundamental paradox that emerges when well-meaning communities and individuals attempt to implement their ideals in our social, or socialized, world.

Author Biography:

Wendy C. Hamblet is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Adelphi University. Her research focuses upon the problems frustrating peaceful engagement within and among human communities, especially for communities that have suffered histories of radical victimization.
