✦ Synopsis


This book examines a wide range of human problems that are institutionalized forms of violence, including poverty, parenting, sexism, and racism. Since violence is as complex as the human beings who resort to it, its institutionalized forms pervade our relational lives. These philosophical studies explicate violence in the hope that such clarification will help us devise less violent ways of living together.
