This book is a rational view and assessment of the concept violence and thus a mediate response to the question about violence.

Produktbeschreibung
This book is a rational view and assessment of the concept violence and thus a mediate response to the question about violence. Thus, amid such fierce acts of misuse, irrational distortions and heavy misunderstandings of the concept of violence, the author asks a hard question: Where are the philosophers? It is quite disconcerting to realise that philosophers today have somehow ignored and abandoned the search for the true meaning of the concept of violence. The book is an intellectual and moral realization that there is need for philosophers to dig deeper in order to re-discover the original meaning of the notion of violence if humanity is to understand the dynamics of violence and its misuse in contemporary society.In this book, the phrase 'post-colonial Zimbabwe,' demarcates the context in which an analysis of the concept of violence was done. The results or findings are universally applicable to everyone and everywhere. While the author admits that political violence is one of the common types of violence, the fact is that it is not the only type. A general meaning of the concept of violence cannot be achieved by merely looking at one of its compartments.
