contents Someter al enemigo sin librar combate Jaime Barrera Parra Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) War China Sun Tzu tactics just war This article intends to investigate the meaning of war in a Chinese textwrote more than 300 years ago: The Art of War, by Sun Tzu. The essay usesMao Tse Tung difference between “just wars” and “unjust wars”, to askabout the origin of the “just war” concept in classical Chinese thinking. Inthe first place, the article finds signs of this origin in Mo Tzu’s opposition tothe “unjust consequences” of war. It then analyses to a greater extent theconcept of “the good” understood as the characteristic of an “intelligentGeneral”. Finally, it shows how Lao Tzu’s formulations in the Tao Te Chingwere used by the author of The Art of War to express a sense of the “good”in the General’s intelligent behavior. In a parallel way, the article exploresthe problem of “ways of thinking”: first, establishing a relation between thebeginning of ideas about war in China and Karl Jaspers’ concept of “axistime”, and secondly, proposing the study of the Chinese classics’ languageas a way of symbolic expression, following Susanne Langer ideas. Theconclusion is an invitation to research these ideas’ development on theirtransposition to a Japanese context a thousand years later 2003 artículo científico 0123-885X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=81501402 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=815 Revista de Estudios Sociales application/pdf Universidad de los Andes Revista de Estudios Sociales (Colombia) Num.14
