| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE HISTORY OF MANKIND is brimming with armed conflicts and wars, the biggest and the bloodiest of them taking place in the nineteenth and especially twentieth centuries: two world wars, to say nothing of revolutions and civil wars, claimed tens of millions of lives. Tragedies continue in the twenty-first century. Many of us are convinced that we are living in the end time, the time of Apocalypses and that the dreams about perpetual peace (of which Immanuel Kant had written with a great deal of enthusiasm) were swallowed up by Lethe. The recent events - the wars in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Chechnya, Syria and elsewhere together with the "color" revolutions of all sorts and the civil war in Ukraine - are ample evidence that the hopes for universal peace are steadily shrinking. |
