War, or Captive of Violence
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
The socio-political significance of the war has changed throughout the history of the development of Western society. Each era from antiquity to the present day corresponded to its own way of understanding the war and its moral assessment. At the same time, the dualistic attitude to war was invariably reproduced. People were literally in captivity of violence and, cursing the war, over and over again searched for an excuse that they are fighting. We will try to figure out why this happened by answering the questions: what is a war? How did the ideas about the meaning of the war change over time? What opportunities did she give her participants? Can war be fair and unfair? What did people think about permissible and unacceptable on the battlefield? How does the attitude to war change at the beginning of the XXI century? You will learn about all this from the book of Arseniy Kumankov, the senior teacher of the school of philosophy of the faculty of humanitarian sciences of the Higher School of Economics (Moscow), a specialist in the ethics of war and the world.
The book is intended for everyone who is interested in the problems of ethics, politics, history and social sciences
