Hannah Arendt On Violence: The Opposite of Power

Hannah Arendt's On Violence makes the startling argument that Power and Violence are opposites. Here we'll try to unpack Arendt's definition of power, as well as why she might think that violence is power's opposite. We'll trace Hannah Arendt's argument through the history of political thought and also explore how advanced technologies might create new and frightening possibilities for a government of total violence.
