About this video
Violence is not always confined to physical behavior; language can also be a tool for humiliation, exclusion, destruction, and closing off the path to dialogue. In this conversation, Hossein Mahmoudi and Kaveh Behbahani address the issue of verbal violence and its impact on the intellectual, social, and cultural atmosphere.
The focus of the discussion is the relationship between the manner of speaking and the possibility of constructive dialogue. When language, instead of clarifying differences, becomes a tool for attack and labeling, the possibility of hearing the other and reaching a common understanding diminishes.
The importance of this conversation lies in a context where the public, media, and virtual spheres are facing more linguistic tensions and hasty judgments than ever before. This video is noteworthy for those interested in the ethics of dialogue, public culture, the philosophy of language, and moral responsibility in speech.
