Reflections On Violence

Reflections on Violence

by Georges Sorel

Georges Sorel's *Reflections on Violence* is a seminal work of political philosophy that explores the role of violence in social and political change. Sorel argues that violence is not inherently negative but can be a necessary catalyst for revolutionary transformation. He critiques traditional Marxist theories of revolution, arguing that the proletariat needs a powerful, unifying myth to inspire its struggle, and that violence is essential for breaking the hold of the existing order. The book has been influential in various political movements, particularly those on the far-right and far-left, and continues to be debated and analyzed by scholars today.
