Explore the profound connection between language and violence with ‘Wittgenstein and the Nature of Violence’. This insightful volume delves into how culturally and ideologically formed institutions contain violence, drawing on Wittgenstein’s philosophy of peace and language. Discover the subtle links between everyday language, agriculture, and micro-violence often overlooked in modern life. The book argues that any comprehensive theory of violence must acknowledge the complex tapestry of political, social, and cultural interactions. It uncovers the instrumentalization of violence throughout modern history to reinforce authority and create spectacles of power. Essential reading for students and scholars in peace and conflict studies, political philosophy, linguistics, and modern history seeking to understand the pervasive nature of violence.
