Philosophers on the Russian Aggression in Ukraine

Book excerpt: The Russian aggression in Ukraine, culminated in its invasion on 24 February 2022, has left friend nor foe untouched and continues to shock the international philosophical community. In order to offer a wide range of perspectives on this predicament that affects each and every one of us, the present volume brings together ten philosophers – from France to Georgia, from students to professionals and professors – who shed different lights on the war. They have been asked to express themselves parrhesiastically, in other words to speak boldly, putting themselves on the line, from their personal aim at the truth and for the common good, therefore in the form of essays rather than standard scientific articles.
