Razón práctica y violencia en Paul Ricoeur

given the polarity between the "legitimist" (weber) and the "illegitimist" (arendt) theories of violence in the political field, i will explore the philosophical contributions of paul ricoeur to this issue. since the political field is for the author the accomplishment of the ethical intention, i will first explore the ethical and moral dimension of violence. secondly, i will enter in the proper political field where we will see ricoeur defends an "asymmetrical" dialectic between the "legitimist" and "illegitimist" arguments in which the former acquire reasonability within a "broad" concept of violence akin to arendt's. thirdly, i will approach the temporal dimension of violence as it appears in collective memory and in history. i will conclude with an account of the merits and partially unresolved questions within ricoeur's work.
