Friedman im Gespräch: Gewalt

The "Friedman in Conversation" series focuses on existential and political issues of the present day. In conversation with guests from politics, art and science, author, publicist and philosopher Michel Friedman regularly seeks to engage in debate. Intensive, controversial, curious about emancipatory potential and clear positions.

In this issue, Michel Friedman talks to Andreas Zick about violence: How does violence arise? Is it inscribed in people - or the result of circumstances? Is there such a thing as legitimate violence? Is it the opposite of peace, or its prerequisite? When does anger become violence? Does conviction become terror? What role does politics play? And what does it say about a society when political violence becomes the norm?
