Mathias Thaler articulates a novel perspective on the study of violence that demonstrates why the imagination matters for political theory. He explores how narrative art, thought experiments, and historical events can challenge and enlarge our existing ways of thinking about violence.

Mathias Thaler is senior lecturer in political theory at the University of Edinburgh. He is the author of Moralische Politik oder politische Moral? Eine Analyse aktueller Debatten zur internationalen Gerechtigkeit (2008) and the coeditor of On the Uses and Abuses of Political Apologies (2014).
