In this episode we welcome Dr. Ashley Bohrer to discuss Walter Benjamin’s 1921 essay “Critique of Violence”. We talk about the relationship between violence and the law, reflect on the limits of institutional power for emancipatory projects, and get really real about the spiritual dimension of justice. Keep your messianism weak, comrades. patreon.com/leftofphilosophy | @leftofphil ashleybohrer.com Pedagogies for Peace podcast: https://kroc.nd.edu/research/intersectionality/pedagogies-for-peac...
