| description | The philosophical definition of violence today is “incomplete” and leaves a
“gap” between the phenomenon and the concept. This is due to the fact that
the concept of “violence” was/is strangely included in the general
philosophical categorial line. In domestic and Western discourse, the
problem field of violence contains, above all, political and ethical
meanings. The problem is intuitively resolved in its appeal to the concept
of “power”, which turns out to be philosophically lost in modern philosophy.
Only exceptionally do we find “traces” of this concept in philosophical
works. Among them are the works of Aristotle, which need to be freed from
modern, distorting interpretations. Thus, in the translations of Aristotle,
the Greek δύναμις, used for the traditional transferring the category of
possibility, lost its meaning of force (movement, ability, function); in its
turn, “force” lost relation to “violence” (βια) and “necessity”. Violence is
understood as a kind of necessity, which is associated with the suppression
of one’s “own decision”, freedom, something that “prevents desire” and
contrary to “common thinking,” as well as the absence of “good”. Violence is
presented not only in an ontological sense, but also existentially, as the
opposite of “good” and of one’s own “desire”. Force remains in the shadow of
“necessity” as “possibility”, “potential energy” and “movement”, and
violence loses the opposition that has arisen in an ontological mode. |
