The Philosophy of War and Exile: From the Humanity of War to the Inhumanity of Peace

    Research output: Book/ReportBookAcademic

    Abstract

    Arguing that the suffering of combatants is better understood through philosophy than psychology, as not trauma, but exile, this book investigates the experiences of torturers, UAV operators, cyberwarriors, and veterans to reveal not only the exile at the core of becoming a combatant, but the evasion from exile at the core of being a noncombatant.
