Non-violence as a principle and pragmatic non-violence
Keywords:
Civil Disobedience, Gene sharp, Political Theory, Nonviolent ActionAbstract
This article aims to discuss the theoretical prerogatives that compose and support the current debate on non-violence, which increased particularly after the success of the process of independence of India in 1947. The focus here is to illuminate authors who write from the second half of the 20th century in order to substantiate and justify certain specific forms of political participation and resistance averse to the use of violence as legitimate and effective. To this end, normative distinctions that characterize the complexity of non-violence are shown, which are subsequently compared to certain aspects of the thought of writers relevant to political theory.
