Abstract
This article is part of the urgent need to reflect, from the scholar perspective, about a subject that is becoming more pressing, due to the danger of a new conflagration on a global scale. This conflagration could destroy what the man has built with a lot of effort man and could even result in the end of the existence life itself.
The theme of war and peace has always been subject to reflections from sociology, history, philosophy and other disciplines, of both Social and Human Sciences as so-called Basic Sciences. But it was the philosophical perspective, the significance of its own, which has allowed to show their antinomy as a factor of progress and destruction. This essentially contradictory nature can be
shown in writings even from the earliest times in Greece and elsewhere. Today, it is more urgent and necessary that philosophy addresses the subject with depth that only it can accomplish. This is a small contribution in that direction.
