"Two centuries after Carl von Clausewitz wrote On War, it lines the shelves of military
colleges around the world and even showed up in an Al Qaeda hideout. Though it has
shaped much of the common parlance on the subject, On War is perceived by many as
a "metaphysical fog," widely known but hardly read. In War as Paradox, Youri Cormier
lifts the fog on this iconic work by explaining its philosophical underpinnings."
; "Building up a genealogy of dialectical war theory and integrating Hegel as a co-founder
with Clausewitz of the method, Cormier uncovers a common logic that shaped the fighting
doctrines and ethics of modern war. He explains how Hegel and Clausewitz converged
on method, but nonetheless arrived at opposite ethics and military doctrines. Ultimately,
Cormier seeks out the limits to dialectical war theory and explores the greater paradoxes
the method reveals: can so-called "rational" theories of war hold up under the pressures
of irrational propositions, such as lone-wolf attacks, the circular logic of a "war
to end all wars," or the apparent folly of mutually assured destruction?"
