What if our fundamental understanding of power is flawed? Is violence truly its ultimate expression, or rather a sign of its absence? How can societies navigate the extremes of seeing power as inherently good or bad, and instead cultivate a nuanced perspective on what constitutes ”enough” authority? These crucial questions, alongside the challenge of balancing individual rights with collective obligations and understanding how legitimate power truly emerges from trust and respect, are explored in this new episode of ”Thinking in Dark Times” by Ukrainian philosopher Volodymyr Yermolenko, recorded from Kyiv.
