This work develops a critical reconstruction of the arguments of Hannah Arendt and Emmanuel Levinas about violence, in order to study this phenomenon in frame of political and interpersonal relationships. An argument is also woven about what demands to be agents of recognition of the other, explaining the elements that constitute us as individuals, to assess the implications of a violent act on the identity of victims and perpetrators. Finally, I seek to defend the thesis of violence at the base, to answer the question of: What underlies the beginning of all violence?
