Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to interpret violence as a struggle against death, carried out by its own means. In emancipating himself from dependence on nature, man generates in his creative élan his own universe of socioculture, equivalent to the natural world. Death, however, cannot receive any constructive substitution, trampled by death itself. Violence in our social life prevents the negation, with which the presence of the Other threatens us. By confrontation with the Other, we reach our final frontier.
