[$5, postpaid. A huge discount off of retail to get you to see what it's all about!] This book presents an approach to understanding the specific forms of violence particularly appropriate to contemporary life. It illustrates that most violence today is completely invisible both to those who do it and to those who suffer it. This is because the prevailing concept of violence is inadequate. If our concept of violence encompasses only its physical or sensible forms, we will not see it when it operates even when we think we fight against it in its emotional and especially in spiritual forms. Today the dominant form of violence is spiritual. Today we can even love violence because we suffer from it in ways we do not see. Today there is violence in our acts of love. We must be concerned, therefore, both about our love of violence and the violence of our love. It's second to "Powers of Knowledge" in the 2-book series "The Crisis of Modern Culture." (82 pages, 5.5x8.5, paper.)
