Reflections on the use of violence (DIEEEA47-2013)

Violence is part of nature but its management is due both to the culture and the environment. It is not useless, but the object of rationality and calculation. Ethics relate ends and means, their involvement in the use of force is critical. The point is that phenomena such as war, a survival and no rule space, belongs to politics a different level that overflows ethics. The management of violence, its legitimacy is what defines the power of the State, embodies many difficulties and paradoxes that depend on the age.
