Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Akademii Sztuki Wojennej - Year 2011, Vol 2011, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents war and peace issues explored by philosophers, sociologists, lawyers, economists and art of war theoreticians from ancient to contemporary times. The author assumes that war is not a pure military phenomenon. Therefore, as an extremely complex phenomenon it should be debated from different points of view as a sum of various conflicts. The conflicts of armed forces, public feelings, economic conditions, legal regulations and national cultures are leveled in such a degree that military sociologists or theoreticians have long been trying to answer the question of what war actually is. The article shows the outlooks on war and peace of such authors as, among others, Plato, Aristotle, Democritus, Cicero, Hobbes, Rousseau, Hegel, Bouthoul, Herder, Huxley, Bloch, Comte, Spencer, Os- good, Sun Tzu, Grotius, Clausewitz, Beaufre, Brodie, Slessor, Walzer, Chocha, Koziej, Balcerowicz (Bolesław), Fukuyama, Skibiński, Rosa, Weart or Kuźniar. The author concludes that the subject matter of research on war has depended on the assumed chronological, factual and territorial range. A historian always tends to present all sides of an armed conflict and its dependence on historical process. One must agree with an assumption that the subject matter of the research on war may come down only to a military point of view. However, it does not mean that it should be limited only to military issues perceived in a narrow specialist meaning.
