Notes about violence

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show how "empirical violence" can be considered as the result of a deep fracture that occurs naturally in human life. A fracture, a lack of proportion or balance, that occurs when appears a fissure appears between the belief of what human life ideally should be and the ways and means that it takes for its development, between the fissures belonging to human existence and the solutions with which human life pretends to fill or solve those fissures, as a result of historical and cultural movements. "Empirical violence" occurs when this complex relationship leans more towards one of its sides, denying the other; when existence is conceived only in the realms of pure language or idealism, or when it is conceived only in the realm of corporality and nature.
