The works of foreign thinkers of the 20th century on the role and possibilities of violence and non-violence in politics are presented. Texts representing different ideological and conceptual approaches are united, in addition to their common issues, by the strong resonance that they had in the social consciousness of their contemporaries. Approved by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation as a teaching aid in the discipline “Political Science” for university students studying at humanitarian specialties and areas. From the contents: Jean-Paul Sartre. Preface to Frantz Fanon's book Branded with a Curse. - Frantz Fanon. About violence. - Ernesto Che Guevara. Guerrilla warfare: method. - Mahatma Gandhi. Speeches and articles on nonviolence and nonviolent resistance. - Vaclav Havel. The power of the powerless. - Hannah Arendt. About violence. - Reinhold Niebuhr. The conflict between the individual and public morality. - Bernard Williams Politics and the Moral Person. - Georg Lukács Articles and letters on ethics and politics. “The reader is offered, in fashionable terms, an exquisite installation, thanks to which Fanon and Sartre, Che Guevara and Lukács, Gandhi and Niebuhr, Havel and Arend were united in a single discursive space. Almost all the texts were published for the first time in Russian, and some of the authors, for example, Fanon or Che Guevara, were still generally known to the Russian reader either indirectly or unilaterally. By and large, this also applies to Lukács, a figure of the first magnitude on the philosophical horizon of the twentieth century, who is completely insufficiently known among us. Lukács, who combined different thought traditions and is associated for the majority with unorthodox Marxism, significantly expanded the philosophical, political and, more broadly, intellectual spectrum of the anthology; It is no coincidence that his articles and letters published in the book are accompanied by a separate commentary by S. N. Zemlyanoy.” (R. G. Apresyan)
