Abstract

The paper delineates and reveals main approaches to analyzing the essence of war as a social phenomenon in the life of society, in particular, formational, civilizational, culturological, socio-philosophical and others. Understanding the essence and main features of war in the current circumstances hugely increases in importance and enables us to take certain measures to avoid the war. Another important aspect of analyzing war as a phenomenon is evaluation of its generic and specific features which allows finding the common characteristics of war with other social phenomena, such as politics, economy, law, morality and the like, and draw attention to distinguishing characteristics. Common characteristics of war are its generic features, and distinguishing characteristics are its specific features. Together analysis of the essence of war and knowledge about war comprise a certain methodological approach to understanding peculiarities of modern social phenomena and processes. It should be emphasized that methodology of study of war as a social phenomenon could and should be formed and function in accordance with principles of scientifically oriented philosophical system.
