Russia's invasion of Ukraine has reshuffled the cards. This time, they say, it's the return of real war, with its atrocities, its horrors, its violence. But what is a \u003ci\u003ereal \u003c\/i\u003ewar?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy calling on the great political philosophers, from Plato to Marx, via Machiavelli and Hobbes, this book attempts to answer this question, along with a series of others: what is a just war? What moral forces are involved in a conflict? Does the state make war, or does war make the state? Finally, after exploring the meanings and stakes of the spectre of 'total' war, he tackles the ultimate question: \u003ci\u003ewhy war?\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrédéric Gros\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris XII and the Institute of Political Studies, Paris.
