摘要：Among the general population, as much as among academics, war is a contested notion. Nick Mansfield's Theorising War: From Hobbes to Badiou, traces theories of war from the Enlightenment through to contemporary times. His assessment covers the dialectical conception of war from an anti-dialectical, and anti-humanist standpoint canvassing a cast of all-male theorists including Hobbes and Clausewitz, Freud, Deleuze and Guattari, Foucault, Derrida, Badiou and Zizek, to name a few. This book is useful because it outlines the evolutionary conceptualisation of war theory, and because it concludes with an argument for the rethinking of theway we as a polity conceptualise and talk about war
