| Summary: | The article is an elaboration of the positive epistemology of the victim of
war in the works of Walter Benjamin and Carl Schmitt. The discussion
involves the Serbian philosopher Petar Bojanić, who in his book “Violence
and Messianism” (2018) offers an original version of the deconstruction of
the figure of the victor and the vanquished by Benjamin. The article
proposes a consideration of the figure of the partisan as reconciling these
incompatible positions, subjecting the well-known theory of the partisan by
Carl Schmitt to fundamental philosophical criticism. In the same context,
the text offers a principled critique of ethical just war theory and
left-liberal critique of unmanned military technology. |
