Abstract

The article aapproaches the problem of violence and human nature from the position of the most influential socio-psychological theories which Peat violence as a fundamental category of nature, society and individual existence. Far front a one-sided reading of the psychological, biological or economic nature of violence, the article determines it as behaviour which possessses an articulated meaning connected to society as a whole. It has its past, present, future and its logic. Emphasising the political production of violence and the (mis)use of the concept of human nature through which violence is produced and henceforth controlled so as to control the individual and society, the author points to the immediate and essential relation of "sociability” to violence without which it is impossible to understand tire contemporary world and its future.
