«How does Hannah Arendt help us to combine violence and action in the current situation, in which we are faced with the reality of “extreme violence”, at the very heart of politics?». In what way does Hannah Arendt invite us to think about the combination of power and violence? Can there be a civil violence that does not end up transforming into extreme violence?

In this text, the thinker Peg Birmingham asks whether a “civil violence” is possible in the context of modern revolutions by tracing the relationship between violence and action in Hannah Arendt’s thought in comparison with other political theories.
