Abstract

war is a situation that embodies the principle of duality: one side is pitted against another in an "an act of violence intended to compel an opponent to fulfill our will ." That will, whatever it may be, "has its root in a political object " that is determined within ideological constraints. This pattern is corroborated by conclusions determined by other human endeavors. Psychologically speaking, perception precedes action; philosophically, ontology precedes ethics, and politically, ideology precedes war. As the soldier-cum-philosopher of war Clausewitz muses, "Is not war merely another kind of writing and language for political thoughts? ."
