From these basic concepts he suggests a new ethic that sees power as the basis for both human goodness and evil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dr. May discusses five levels of power's potential in each of us: the infant's power to be; self-affirmation, the ability to survive with self-esteem; self-assertion, which develops when self-affirmation is blocked; aggression, a reaction to thwarted assertion; and, finally, violence, when reason and persuasion are ineffective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 284\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.5 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 26, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42134058074247,"sku":"9780393317039","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/ce6c9f21b1c5a4bad2920643c1e4da16_6ac763ab-9787-4088-9cc4-88fd16db8ff8.webp?v=1732638835","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/power-and-innocence-a-search-for-the-sources-of-violence-paperback-1","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
