Friedman im Gespräch: Gewalt

In conversation with guests from the worlds of politics, art, and academia, author, journalist, and philosopher Michel Friedman regularly seeks to engage in debate. Intense, controversial, and curious about emancipatory potential and clear-cut positions.

In this edition, Michel Friedman speaks with Andreas Zick about violence:

How does violence arise? Is it inherent to human nature—or the result of social conditions? Is there such a thing as legitimate violence? Is it the opposite of peace, or its prerequisite? When does anger turn into violence? When does conviction turn into terror? What role does politics play? And what does it say about a society when political violence becomes the norm within it?
