THE REALITY OF WAR: DIAGNOSTICS OF PHILOSOPHICAL TOOLS FOR ITS ANALYSIS
Abstract
The article is devoted to the revision of the basic philosophical tools of war analysis through the description of a specific war – the Russian aggression in Ukraine. The exits to the transcendental position and the appeal to the flow of being in its practical modalities are the means of producing the concept of the reality of war as its own version and as a mental reality beyond its symbolic expression. The emphasis is placed on the ability of the nation to consolidate through existential trauma, to form a community, the identification within which occurs through the presence of the enemy-identifier as the Alien. For the creation of the author's concept, the transition from the chaos of the world of life to the logos of the world of timelessness, the world of truth, became meaningful. The point of contact, the opening between these worlds is the ratio, the human mind that tries to rationalize life even in such a situation. Suggestive effects are caused by information messages from media and screens when the same facts cause diametrically opposite affects. The concept of sensitive rationality is used to analyze the range of problems of the ethical crisis, to overcome which it is important to include an aesthetic factor that individualizes ethics, deprives it of the rigidity of duty, and allows to create of an ethics of coexistence in a community that is characterized by "unethical", repressive features. The possibility of restoration of the classical heritage of European philosophy for the revision of urgent modern problems is substantiated. It is concluded that the concept of the reality of war allows other conceptualizations, and also makes it possible to highlight the features of the theoretical language of description of modern wars.
