Summary/Abstract: The paper points to the historically obvious fact that the origin of violence is ignorance or a common belief (doxa) which, based on the basic human instincts, lacks the power to establish a life in peace as the greatest human value. The dominance of violence in history indicates the absence of dialectical education which, by the drive of popular culture, religion and science, continually establishes a beyond-metaphysical reality of the region. Implicitly, the question what is dialectics for? is unavoidably and repeatedly imposed to us.
