Abstract

The aim of this article is to try to interpret the phenomenon of war using selected philosophical concepts of Józef Tischner. The interpretation leads to the conclusion that: (1) the source of the casus belli is the denial of the other’s right to exist, (2) the evil of war consists in disturbing the dialogical relationship and, consequently, in the emanation of this evil into the world as a drama stage, (3) the end of warfare on the drama stage it does not guarantee lasting peace – the dialogical relationship still needs to be rebuilt.
