EPISTEMOLOGY OF WAR

War is extremely complex political and social phenomenon with knowable but, generally, hardly predictable causes and effects. Although the war is one of the most rigorous and well organized human activities, its phenomenology still stands complicated and hardly predictable, sometimes even unpredictable. But, as concerns war, although the experience is amazingly rich - maybe the best anchored in the dramatic existence of human existence -, it isn't and can't be enough to understand the essence of this phenomenon. Peculiarly today, when war - forbidden by law in its offensive, aggressive component but allowed by Article 51 of UN Chart in its defensive or dissuasive, even preemptive form - gains such forms, such contents and such connotations thus it seemed it diluted (by extension) and is about to disappear. Unfortunately, for war phenomenon it seems, the extension it isn't dilution as the delimitation isn't concentration. Thus, war phenomenon mustn't be taken out of knowledge universe and treated as a fact, as fatality or any other common things but, on the contrary, it must be took into all the components of knowledge process inclusively the ones that regard the knowledge of knowledge, as meta-knowledge.
