    The work reflects an extraordinary vision of the notion of violence based on the ideas of post-modern philosophers and brings the concept of distinguishing the explosive or negative violence and implosive or positive violence. Author achieved the core of the notion of violence, its inherent and unavoidable nature in the realm of politics which manifests itself differently regarding the social system, the system of relations in the society.
