| Abstract
|
:
|
"The book offers eight studies of war from within sociology, philosophy and psychoanalytic frameworks, seeking to offer a full account of the theoretical positions being addressed by, among others, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Marcuse, Freud, Butler, Virilio, Scarry, Bataille, Schmitt, Hardt and Negri and to identify those components that contribute to an ontology of war. At a time when the 'war against terror' is used to legitimize the extension of a very specific set of values across the globe, such an exploration is timely and necessary."--Jacket.
