War, or Captivity of Violence

The sociopolitical significance of war has evolved throughout the history of Western society. Each era, from antiquity to the present day, has had its own way of understanding war and its moral evaluation. At the same time, a dualistic attitude toward war has invariably been reproduced. People found themselves literally captivated by violence and, cursing war, repeatedly sought justification for fighting. We will attempt to understand why this happened by answering the following questions: What is war? How have ideas about the meaning of war changed over time? What opportunities did it offer its participants? Can war be just and unjust? What did people think about what was acceptable and unacceptable on the battlefield? How have attitudes toward war changed at the beginning of the 21st century? You will learn all this in the book by Arseny Kumankov, Senior Lecturer in the School of Philosophy, Faculty of Humanities, HSE (Moscow), and a specialist in the ethics of war and peace. This book is intended for anyone interested in ethics, politics, history, and the social sciences.
