This book, written from the perspective of "philosophical anthropology," presents concepts which articulate the debate about the origins of war and demonstrate how it has transformed, reaching a political, diplomatic, cultural, and religious relevance that is very different from how it began, according to Carl von Clausewitz. The book narrates the political, economic, and cultural crisis of the two World Wars and the medieval wars, and describes the weapons, armies, political administrations, etc. But how is it possible for a world war to lead to the annihilation of a people like the Holocaust? The military events of the 20th century have brought about a point of no return that obliges us to visit it time and again until we have digested its nuances. We should ask ourselves to give peace an opportunity, to think of a world in which gratuitous violence has been banished, a world in which universal ethical laws have been established. Contributors to this volume include: Fernando Miguel Perez, Allan Jani, Enzo Traverso, Enrique Gavlan, Julia Urabayen, Chanial Maillard, Elena Najera, Monica Moreno, and Alica Mira.
