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 Waldenfels not only feel the distinct burden of our
age but, with unflagging attention to the philosophical tradition,
forge a pronounced counterweight to the violent gyre of today. The
result is a stirring critique that looks outward upon the phenomena
of injustice, and inward upon the instruments and assumptions of
philosophical discourse itself.
