El término «violencia», en su sentido más elemental, refiere al daño ejercido sobre las personas por parte de otros seres humanos. Los experimentos totalitarios del siglo xx ampliaron este uso de la violencia, a una escala y una intensidad inéditas en la historia de la humanidad, y es en este contexto donde cabe encuadrar esta obra perenne de Hannah Arendt. Para la filosofía política, la violencia objeto de su estudio tiene dos caras: la violencia organizada del Estado o aquella que irrumpe frente al mismo. Esto ha hecho que muchos pensasen que la violencia es sobre todo una forma de ejercicio del poder. La posición de partida de la autora en "Sobre la violencia" consiste en el estudio minucioso de la violencia política en sus encarnaciones extremas dentro del mundo contemporáneo y en su cuidadosa separación entre violencia y poder político; este último es el resultado de la acción cooperativa, mientras que la violencia del siglo XX está ligada al alcance magnificador de la destrucción que proporciona la tecnología.

Excerpts

Power corresponds to the human ability not just to act but to act in concert. Power is never the property of an individual; it belongs to a group and remains in existence only so long as the group keeps together. When we say of somebody that he is "in power" we actually refer to his being empowered by a certain number of people to act in their name.
