Dehumanizacja i przyszłość wojny w pracach Christophera Cokera
(Krakowska Oficyna Naukowa TEKST, 2018) Nyzio, Arkadiusz; Uniwersytet Jagielloński
The topics of dehumanisation and robotisation of war are very rarely raised inthe Polish literature of the subject. Even rarer are the publications on the ethi-cal dimension of the modern military revolution. Therefore, it is worth todiscuss and analyse the work of Christopher Coker, professor of InternationalRelations at the London School of Economics and Political Science, who inrecent years has been one of the most influential scholars in the field. Thisreview article presents Coker's most important findings on the evolution of war and its consequences. Whereas Carl von Clausewitz, Coker's source of inspiration and common reference point, was focusing on war as a politicalphenomenon, Coker is more interested in its cultural dimension. The articleis divided into four parts. The first describes Coker's attitude towards thephenomenon of war. The second presents his reflection on the end of the„warrior ethos”. The third part examines the issues of humanisation anddehumanisation of contemporary armed conflicts, while the fourth presentsthe futuristic aspect of Coker's work.
