Considers the ordeal of hatred and our relation to violence In this urgently needed book, Marc Crépon addresses the nature of hatred and its manifestations in international and domestic terrorism, racism, war and other forms of violence. Looking at the evidence of violence motivated by hatred, including US racial segregation, South African apartheid and the terrorist attacks in New York City in 2001 and in Paris in 2015, Crépon makes a compelling case for why hatred is the burden of our times. With inspiration from the non-violence resistance movements of Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr., Crépon reveals how philosophy and literature, using courage and a new language, can overcome the many forms of hatred and violence present in our lives today. Marc Crépon is Professor of Philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. He is the author of Murderous Consent: On the Accommodation of Violent Death, The Vocation of Writing: Literature, Philosophy, and the Test of Violence and The Thought of Death and the Memory of War. D. J. S. Cross is Research Visiting Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature at the State University of Buffalo. Tyler M. Williams is Assistant Professor of Humanities at Midwestern State University.
