Recenzje

War for Peace is a landmark study in the field of political theory, exploring how the concept of peace has been profoundly fused with practices of violence and war-making. Alongside the erudition and analytical power with which Idris develops these arguments, what makes the book so remarkable is how it transcends traditional philosophical divisions between Occident and Orient, Ancient and Modern. In exploring the links between thinkers as wide-ranging as Plato, Ibn Khaldun, and Kant, Idris challenges the typical histories of political thought and dazzlingly highlights the shared predicaments that have marked essential texts on war and peace." - Aziz Rana, author of The Two Faces of American Freedom
