«La violencia del mundo» is the philosophical essay by Jean Baudrillard and Edgar Morin, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (94 pages, in Spanish).
Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, Jean Baudrillard and Edgar Morin reflect on global violence and contemporary terrorism. The book brings together two lectures that reject hate speech and the dichotomies between good and evil, proposing to understand the specular logic of violence, its archaic roots and its cross-border dimension, against simplistic readings.

Recommended for readers interested in philosophy, sociology and the analysis of terrorism and contemporary violence.
Jean Baudrillard was a French sociologist and philosopher with an interest in cultural studies. He is best known for his analyses of media, contemporary culture, and technological communication, as well as his formulation of concepts such as hyperreality. Baudrillard wrote about diverse subjects, including consumerism, critique of economy, social history, aesthetics, Western foreign policy, and popular culture. Among his best-known works are Forget Foucault (1977), Seduction (1978), Simulacra and Simulation (1981), America (1986), and The Gulf War Did Not Take Place (1991). His work is frequently associated with postmodernism and specifically post-structuralism. Nevertheless, Baudrillard had also opposed post-structuralism, and had distanced himself from postmodernism.
