SALDIAS BARRERA, ROBERTO. Philosophy and Violence From the Absolute to Action in Eric Weil's Logic of Philosophy. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, n.153, pp.201-218. ISSN 0120-0062.

ABSTRACT The tensions and potential links between reason and violence are a significant philosophical problem. Eric Weil's systematic work, as well as his numerous articles and lectures, is dedicated to the analysis of the historical figures of such tensions. His major work, Logique de la Philosophie, develops that objective. The article analyzes how Weil faces this always new challenge for philosophy, on the basis of the category of action -the last concrete category of his philosophy-, together with the preceding categories (absolute, unmediated particular, finite) and the formal categories (meaning and wisdom).

Keywords : E. Weil; violence; action.
