VEGA FERNANDEZ, Enrique. Human violence: What have we learned?. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2012, vol.58, n.228, pp.186-193. ISSN 1989-7790.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0465-546X2012000300003.

The present work aims at inducing reflections upon how to approach the big question as why wars exist, and continue to exist, in the world we live in today. We proceed via the concept of cratotropism, based on Alfred Adler's conception of the thirst for power. And on the triad: ideological or cultural competition, financial pressure/resistance, and armed conflict as a last resource, as a means of confronting problems of a crato-eleuterotropic nature, and based on the conception of the modulating function of human knowledge in respect of Michel Foucault's "social powers" and the Marxist concept of property.

Keywords : war; violence; cratotropismo; eleuterotropismo.
