"What Is the Question? (of violence)
"Please ask it.
Is Violence a structure of Dasein? (the dirty secret of Dasein)?
(heart of darkness, etc.?)of equal moment with the rest: care,
resoluteness, understanding?
Its prestige, cogency as an uncovering of being, seems easily a match
for the others. Its primal nature; the "innocence" of wholesale murder
(Holocaust, Hiroshima,Operation Desert Storm, etc., etc.) is patent.
And, clearly, H was never troubled, even theoretically, by the fact
or his own complicity. Ethics and the metaphysic of its taboo against
murder, along with its global subjectivist aspect, "ethos," for
individuals/nations, is indeed easily set aside as an extremely
superficial level of being.
