About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
By reading this summary, you will discover why and how violence has followed a downward trajectory over the centuries. As surprising as it may seem, our era is indeed the least violent period that humanity has known.
You will also discover that :
- human history has been marked by extreme violence;
- the decline of violence is real in all its aspects, from wars to homicides to the treatment of minorities;
- the progress of human societies is notably linked to the development of states, trade and civilization;
- the human being is made up of a set of violent and pacifying tendencies that his environment more or less allows him to develop.
Violence seems to be omnipresent today and it is difficult to admit that violent acts are on the decline. Yet this is indeed the case: we are experiencing a unique period of world peace, and the risks of suffering aggression have never been so low. Our level of tolerance has evolved accordingly, and the violence that is still present strikes us and leaves its mark on people's minds. Throughout history, human beings have made immense progress in their relationship to violence.
