The volume includes twenty-one notes and fragments by Benjamin along with passages from all of the contemporaneous texts to which his essay refers. Readers thus encounter for the first time in English provocative arguments about law and violence advanced by Hermann Cohen, Kurt Hiller, Erich Unger, and Emil Lederer. A new translation of selections from Georges Sorel's Reflections on Violence further illuminates Benjamin's critical program. The volume also includes, for the first time in any language, a bibliography Benjamin drafted for the expansion of the essay and the development of a corresponding philosophy of law. An extensive introduction and afterword provide additional context. With its challenging argument concerning violence, law, and justice?which addresses such topical matters as police violence, the death penalty, and the ambiguous force of religion?Benjamin's work is as important today as it was upon its publication in Weimar Germany a century ago. 606 $aJustice (Philosophy) 606 $aViolence$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 615 0$aJustice (Philosophy) 615 0$aViolence$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 676 $a172.2 686 $aCI 1397$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aBenjamin$b Walter$011365 702 $aFenves$b Peter 702 $aNg$b Julia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795606103321 996 $aToward the critique of violence$93791780 997 $aUNINA
