{"product_id":"the-idea-of-violence-samuel-cohn-jr-9788833130736","title":"The Idea of Violence","description":"What constitutes violence? Such a deceptively simple question belies a much longer and contested history over the idea, meaning, and actualization of violence. Our initial supposition is that violence is an abstraction, a constantly changing 'idea' that impacts the ways in which it manifests itself and how people and societies relate to it. Violence thus becomes an intrinsic factor--negative, positive, ritual, institutional, revolutionary--of sociological processes and as such its practices and interpretations affect and are affected by culture. The contributions in this volume address directly the philosophic foundations of violence within different historical and geographical contexts. Individually and collectively, contributors investigate how varied contexts generate specific concepts of violence and, concurrently, how different philosophies and ideologies shape the expression, perception, and representation of violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Cohn Jr,Laura Fenelli,Jim Glassman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8833130738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788833130736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Viella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs","brand":"Samuel Cohn Jr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442831044863,"sku":"9788833130736","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99c242c6-5673-415b-af45-9cb46dd9f67a.jpg?v=1777200067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-idea-of-violence-samuel-cohn-jr-9788833130736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
