Les silences et la violence de l'Occident. Le défi du politique selon Hannah Arendt

Hannah Arendt's reflection reveals a profound exploration of the delicate balance between power and violence, two often-confused but fundamentally distinct concepts. Arendt encourages us to perceive power as the ability to act collectively and promote consensus, while viewing violence as its failure: a resort to force that stifles dialogue and undermines the social fabric. Her ideas offer a critique of Western history, often characterized by the use of violence as a political tool, and serve as a reminder of the need to rediscover the true meaning of power in the pursuit of a just and pluralistic society.
