Virtuous Violence by Alan Page Fiske
Hurting and Killing to Create, Sustain, End, and Honor Social Relationships
This book explores the complex relationship between morality and violence, challenging the conventional view that violence is inherently immoral. It argues that violence is often used as a means to uphold social order, enforce justice, and maintain relationships, suggesting that it can be perceived as virtuous under certain cultural and social contexts. By examining a wide range of historical and contemporary examples, the book provides a nuanced understanding of how violence can be intertwined with moral values, prompting readers to reconsider their assumptions about the nature of violence and its role in human society.
