Aristoteles'ten Savaş Adabı ve Ahlakı

"War" is the harshest reality of all time. It's dangerous like a double-edged knife. In a way, it is a natural situation whose use is shaped according to intentions. While it can be one of the most noble and noteworthy sides of a person, it also reveals the cruelest side of a person. Whether expressed with the word struggle or defined with the word war, humans are constantly fighting within a perspective that starts from the negativities within themselves and expands towards society and the whole world. How human is a person who does not have wars and fights? And what kind of person is the person who declares war on everything? One of man's only duties in this world is to serve peace wherever and under whatever conditions he finds himself.

World history takes place as a struggle between good and evil. In this history, humans are recorded either as serving good or as instruments of evil. Of course, it is best for the "war" to take place primarily with words, and for the words to first reach the ears and then the hearts. What if ears are full of hearing and hearts are full of hatred? This is where people need to develop other methods to protect basic values and uphold virtues. That's why the pen and the sword were accepted as two tools of war. Sometimes one was enough, sometimes the other, and often both together. This work, written by Aristotle, a connoisseur of the pen, to Iskender-i Dhul-Qarnayn, a connoisseur of the sword, is an important source as it shows that war should have etiquette and morality.
