Sample Book Insights:
#1 Nonviolence is a practice of resistance that becomes possible, if not mandatory, at the moment when doing violence seems most justified and obvious. It is a commitment to equality that is not always recognized in this world.
#2 I will discuss the importance of social bonds and interdependency for understanding a non-individualist account of equality. I will then link this idea of interdependency with nonviolence.
#3 The state of nature is a fiction that allows us to imagine a world without conflict, where individuals are self-sufficient and without need for others. But once other living human beings enter the scene, the problem of equality and conflict immediately emerges.
#4 The state of nature is not an ideal, and Hobbes did not call for a return to that state. Instead, he imagined that lives would be cut short if there were no common government and no binding set of laws to subdue the conflictual nature of human nature.
