Globalisation and the evolution of societies have seen the notion of war evolve, giving it a broader, polysemous meaning. But when Russia invaded Ukraine, talk of the "return of real war" resurfaced. Drawing on great political philosophers from Plato to Marx, Machiavelli and Hobbes, the author offers an analysis of the concept of war.
