Following up on his previous book, Violence and Phenomenology,
James Dodd presents here an expanded and deepened reflection on the
problem of violence. The book's six essays are guided by a
skeptical philosophical attitude about the meaning of violence that
refuses to conform to the exigencies of essence and the stable
patterns of lived experience. Each essay tracks a discoverable,
sometimes familiar figure of violence, while at the same time
questioning its limits and revealing sites of its resistance to
conceptualization. Dodd's essays are readings as much as they are
reflections; attempts at interpretation as much as they are
attempts to push concepts of violence to their limits. They draw
upon a range of different authors-Sartre, Levinas, Schelling,
Scheler, and Husserl-and historical moments, but without any
attempt to reduce them into a series of examples elucidating a
comprehensive theory. The aim is to follow a path of distinctively
episodic and provisional modes of thinking and reflection that
offers a potential glimpse at how violence can be understood.
