  1. Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)

  2. Power… corresponds to the human ability not just to act but to act in concert. Power is never the property of an individual; it belongs to a group and remains in existence only so long as the group keeps together.

  3. Strength…. unequivocally designates something in the singular

  4. Authority… Its hallmark is unquestioning recognition by those who are asked to obey; neither coercion nor persuasion is needed.

  5. Force should be reserved, in terminological language, for the "forces of nature" or the "force of circumstances," that is, to indicate the energy released by physical or social movements.

  6. Violence… distinguished by its instrumental character. Phenomenologically, it is close to strength, since the implements of violence, like all other tools, are designed and used for the purpose of multiplying natural strength...

  7. Violence and Power… • Are opposites. • Violence appears when power is in jeopardy…. • Violence can destroy power; it is incapable of creating it… • Terror is not the same as violence. It is the form of government that comes into being when violence has destroyed all power.
