Introduction to the philosophical analysis of hybrid warfare

Abstract

The language of philosophy offers unique opportunities for exploring the complex and highly dangerous phenomenon of hybrid warfare. A philosophical analysis of hybrid warfare, its tools, and the potential for conflict to escalate into a nuclear phase allows us to uncover the various functions of philosophy in addressing military conflict, its core themes and challenges, and to propose methods for philosophical understanding of contemporary realities. Philosophy provides a framework for analyzing science in general and hybrid warfare in particular, as it explores fundamental questions about human existence, morality, power, and the nature of conflict. Philosophy explores the nature of war and views it not just as an armed conflict, but as an extension of politics through other means, which is particularly relevant in hybrid wars where military actions are combined with propaganda, economic pressure, and cyberattacks. Some philosophers view war as a means of asserting.
