Could war be judged from a moral perspective? Could war be the symbol of civilized humanity? Is a world without conflict possible? Could human beings coexist without conflict? My aim in this chapter is to ask some moral questions about our understanding of war and peace given that in the last four post-pandemic years, the world panorama has been shaken by two major conflicts: the war between Ukraine and Russia and the conflict between Israel and Hamas. For that reason, reflections on the meaning of war are not merely of historical interest. Though some philosophers have warned that we are approaching the end of history, many of us remain amazed at how “history repeats itself”. These conflicts (wars) reflect not only a political failure but also a deeply human problem, showing a total dehumanization and barbarism that we thought was left behind in history. It is the intention of this chapter to answer these questions and analyze the meaning of war (peace) from an ethical and anthropological perspective.
