In this essay, Byung-Chol Khan, referring to the views of the most prominent thinkers of the 20th century who were interested in the topic of violence, outlines the symptomatic picture of the global capitalist society of the 21st century. Khan suggests seeing a cascade of continuous transformations in the history of violence. Today, the executioner and the victim coexist in each of us, and the violence itself becomes positive and merges indistinguishably with its opposite - freedom. Can the efficiency and productivity that everyone strives for in a highly competitive labor market be considered violence? Is a successful person's luxurious lifestyle really self-powered? What to do to become healthier and happier? Like any good philosophical book, "The Topology of Violence" offers a broad enough perspective to raise these questions and try to find answers to them.
