In response to this enduring phenomenon, this book presents five theses that shed light on the nature and significance of disputes. Thesis 1 asserts that disputes are akin to micro-wars, carrying immense social importance. These conflicts involve opposing parties who may resort to various forms of violence and are heavily influenced by normative factors. Thesis 2 introduces the idea that disputes can be approached from right-wing or left-wing stances, offering different perspectives on resolving conflicts. Thesis 3 challenges the underlying grounds for endorsing any particular approach to disputes, suggesting that they may be flawed and subject to rational rejection. Thesis 4 emphasizes the unparalleled greatness of disputes, recognizing their profound impact on individuals, societies, and the broader world. Thesis 5 proposes that right-wing approaches to disputes may be less appealing than the left-wing perspective championed by the book. This is primarily because right-wing approaches often imply the use of \"subtle\" violence, which is expressed by individuals who suggest that those who disagree with their criteria for resolving disputes fall short of logical reasoning or fail to acknowledge the existence of those who hold different viewpoints. By advocating for a left-wing approach, the book seeks to avoid the expression of this type of violence, promoting a more peaceful and harmonious resolution of conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 488g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031123450\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Felipe G.
