The Topology of Violence. Critique of the Positive Society of Late Modernity
Han suggests seeing the... history of violence as a cascade of continuous transformations. Today, within each of us coexist the executioner and the victim, and violence itself becomes positive, merging indistinguishably with its opposite — freedom.
Can we consider efficiency and productivity, which everyone aspires to in the highly competitive labor market, as violence? Is the luxurious lifestyle of a successful person a form of self-violence? What can one do to become healthier and happier? Like any good philosophical book, «The Topology of Violence» offers a sufficiently broad perspective to pose these questions and attempt to find answers.
