Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
(1) Contents: This course revolves around the task to clarify the both complex as well as ambivalent relationship between violence and community. How do societies cope with apparently "irreducible violence," given the fact that even reason--in the last analysis--has to resort to violence in order to preserve itself and its claims? The fact that violence is not simply something external to (the most liberal, democratic) society but intrinsically related to it, that it is justified in the name of reason as "counter-violence," that it is embellished as an effect of legitimate power, etc., points at a cardinal aporia that haunts classical positions in practical philosophy.Further information to follow - Work in progress

(2) The grading key focuses the documented understanding of the basic ideas, topics, and questions presented in the course.
