- Authors
Gingerich, Stephen
- Abstract
This article discusses the philosophy of nonviolence and reflections on violence by Marc Crépon. Crépon emphasizes the refusal of violence and the importance of literature in overcoming the limitations of philosophy. His work draws on thinkers like Sartre and Levinas to develop a new concept of violence and promote a nonviolent world. Crépon's ideas have implications for understanding human life and responsibility, emphasizing the importance of individual and collective responsibility in refusing violence and actively engaging in addressing its causes and effects. The text also explores the relationship between literature and philosophy in promoting nonviolence and defending the uniqueness of individuals.
