Abstract

Pacifism, in its own way forgotten today, is a profound question about man, an attempt to realize that perhaps man should never appear in this very world, except only to dream about love, in the hope that it will happen somewhere else. But if, living in an “evidential” world, observing the facts, we know with unshakeable certainty that this is not the case, that crystalline love is only a phantasm, for after time it constantly changes into a system of habits, and peace is only an unfulfilled hope (which does not need to be proven), then why think that it will ever happen? And it is here that we encounter perhaps the most profound anthropological problem, I would argue impossible to solve. And this is what philosophy shows us. This question is analyzed in the article presented
