Abstract

The term «violence» is ambiguous. Thus, when violence is discussed, it is often described in incommensurable terms and with disparate figures. This paper offers a simple definition and attempts to classify violence from various perspectives: its modality (active or passive), the target, the offender, the context, and the types of harm it causes. More perspectives are, indeed, possible. This article, however, is just one more in a series of essays that I started a couple of years ago and whose end is not yet in sight.
