Mansfield, Nick.

Theorizing warfrom Hobbes to Badiou /[electronic resource] :Nick Mansfield. - Basingstoke [England] ;Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - viii, 174 p. ;23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 169-171) and index.

War and its other -- Posing the problem -- The war/other complex -- The problem of difference-- Conclusion : war and human rights.

We all think we know what war is, yet it has always been explained in relation to something else: sovereign authority, civil society, peace, friendship, love. Traditionally, war has been perceived as either theopposite of these values, or as their instrument. Yet, in our time, itseems to be both of these things at once: social values, like human rights, are both what justifies war, and what we need to protect from war. In this book, Nick Mansfield studies this paradox through areading of canonical thinkers on war like Hobbes and Clausewitz, and also of other thinkers (from Freud and Bataille to Deleuze and Guattari,Levinas and Derrida) who have attempted to deal with our complex and contradictory relationship to war. He also investigates the way that themost influential recent thinkers (from Virilio and Baudrillard to Mbembe, Badiou and Zizek) have theorized war.
