Reflections on Violence was an explosive and controversial book in 1906, and it remains so today. In it, Georges Sorel rejects the decadence of bourgeois democracy and calls for a heroic vitalism of the working class, to be brought about by any means necessary, including violence. Sorel chastises the republicanism and parliamentary socialism of his day, but his insights apply to any vanguardist movement, making him of interest beyond the left, and a precursor to fascism. Drawing on Bergson, Renan, Vico, and others, Sorel underlines myth as the driving force behind political action, and offers the myth of the general strike as the way forward for the syndicalist movement. Sorel's insistence on the myth of the general strike can easily be transposed on to any group's quest for self-determination, and so his critiques of politicians, of utopians, and of moderates are as relevant today as they were a century ago. In the Imperium Press edition, the original translator's preface, which defends Sorel's purging of democracy from socialism, has been restored, along with two of Sorel's essays not included in the original Hulme translation. This edition also includes a foreword by Thomas777 and an essay on the historical context in which Sorel was writing

For to M. Sorel violence is good, both as an end and as a means: violence is at once the condition and the essence of the higher morality or "the sublime in ethics." This sublimation of violence as a kind of moral tonic and renewer of "lost energies" raises questions which would carry us rather far afield into the domains of psychology and ethics, of religion and philosophy: and this is hardly the occasion for such an attractive excursion. What is peculiar to M. Sorel is the new or at any rate rather unfamiliar setting which he gives to the idea of violence-the spiritual affinities, for instance, which he finds between proletarian violence and the philosophy both of Proudhon and of Bergson. But M. Sorel is equally notable for the violence he himself does to analogies. It may be said, indeed, of him what he himself says in a particular context of Renan to such an extent indeed that an element of truth becomes distorted into an untruth, into a falsity of extremes. On the other hand, the discerning reader will be able to sift the grain from the chaff, and may then that M. Sorel's polemic against "moderation" and "compromise," "arbitration" and "opportunism," has more than a negative value; that his argument, stripped of the extravagance of its trappings, has a really arresting and illuminating quality; and that in any cas it has the rare and supreme merit of forcing the reader to think-and to think furiously. His book is at once original and thought-provoking. Sidney Ball, The Economic Journal, Vol. 26, No. 103 (Sep., 1916), pp. 337-341

The prophet of social decadence, the theorist of violence and advocate of the general strike, the critic who stood Marx on his head, Georges Sorel was one of the foremost writers of this century to write extensively on the great importance of the moral aspects of social movements. His reconstruction of socialist ethics established him as one of the most remarkable critics of Marxist thought, and his writings in many aspects anticipated contemporary interpretations. From Georges Sorel, the first of two volumes of Sorel's work, presents his major contributions to social thought articles on Marxism, religion, syndicalism, social myths, the philosophy of history and science, as well as a large and newly translated segment of "Reflections on Violence." In his introduction, John Stanley disputes the frequently encountered view of Sorel as a reactionary or extreme rightist, and emphasizes Sorel's attempt to provide Western society with a morality based on labor, struggle, and family life.

As a central part of his philosophy of symbolic forms as a form of religious expression, and as a political problematic the question of myth belongs at the heart of Ernst Cassirers intellectual enterprise. Using a variety of methodological and conceptual approaches, these papers examine the persistence of myth as a symbolic form from a variety of perspectives: philosophical, anthropological, psychological, political, and historico-cultural. In its way each paper attempts, in Cassirers phrase, to see the adversary face to face.
