War for Peace: Genealogies of a Violent Ideal in Western and Islamic Thought
Idris, Murad (Associate Professor of Political Theory, Associate Professor of Political Theory, University of Virginia)
War for Peace is a genealogy of the political theoretic logics of "peace." Murad Idris looks at the ways that peace has been treated across the writings of ten thinkers from ancient and modern political thought to produce an original and striking account of what peace means and how it works. This book confronts readers with the impurity of peace as an ideal, and the pressing need to think beyond universal peace.
