Violence

Article Abstract:

A study identifies some of the aporias of violence with reference to philosophical and religious discourses and analyzes how violence problematizes concepts of law and justice in world historical contexts. It examines several traditions including Indo-European mythology, and Hindu, Taoist, and ancient Greek philosophy and addresses the concept of violence in modern thought, as a revision of Christianity.

Ignorance

Article Abstract:

Ignorance, or not-knowing, emerges in the early modern period as a privation of knowledge, in both the specific and general sense. There appear to be two different kinds of ignorance, namely ignorance of things that can be known or learned, and ignorance of things that of their very nature cannot be known.
