War: the road to justice or anthropological catastrophe

Abstract

On the basis of the analysis of the phenomenon of war, its consequences in the context of anthropological catastrophe are considered. In the course of military conflicts, it is impossible to maintain the measure of humanity, not to cross the limit on which human nature ends, and there is a tragic difference between man as a biological fact and his ability and readiness to be called and to be a human. An attempt to detect the underlying causes of military conflicts is being made. The systemic social crisis is emphasized, and even the failure of the existing socio-political forms of government to overcome various forms of alienation of man from society, themselves and other people, from the results of their work; culture, etc. Sadly, modern society, having protection in the system of education as a potential condition for the cultivation of a truly human in man (rationality, religiosity, morality), its attachment to culture and, consequently, the approach of man to his ontological nature, ignores such an opportunity. Also, the article focuses on the need for a critical and cautious attitude to the theory of fair wars.
