| Summary: | This edited volume examines the multifaceted phenomenon of political violence through historical, philosophical, and theological perspectives. Originating from a 2022 conference hosted by the University of Helsinki's Center of Excellence in Law, Identity, and the European Narratives, the book explores the complexities of political violence in shaping European identity. It addresses key questions, such as what constitutes political violence, its justifications, and the actors involved, while drawing on disciplines like political science, law, history, philosophy, and theology. The volume is divided into four sections, covering topics like enmity, just war, totalitarian violence, and the interplay between violence and human rights. This scholarly work provides critical insights into the intellectual, historical, and moral dimensions of political violence, offering tools to understand its enduring presence and impact. |
