Abstract

The article analyzes violence as phenomenon of social destruction. It is emphasized that at the inter -paradigm socio conflictology level the essence of violence is interpreted as a specific type of actions, interactions or social subjects conduct as a result of which other persons are subjected to physical or psychological pressure or direct damage. It is noted that the essential features of the phenomenon of violence is a desire to dominate in the psychophysical (volitional) aspect, which is achieved through the countercultural and anti-social practices. Attention is drawn to the fact that the phenomenology of violence reveals its determinants: psychological and socio-cultural sources, asocial experience a dichotomous social inequality and so on. It is emphasized that categorizing different types of violence, it is required to provide its institutional and personal forms, direct and instrumental character; reveal «implicit» violence acts that have no intention of causing harm. It is proved that the phenomenological analysis of violence as a social destruction defies its wrong «image» as a productive means of objective fulfillment. It is emphasized that the inadmissibility of violent practices in a civilized society.
