Issue No 1-2/1995
PURE WAR

The thematic issue of Belgade Circle Journal devoted to "Pure War" was created in the shadow of the regional war raging on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. The contributions gathered in this issue represent an attempt to think through the dramatic questioning arising from the reality of war and from "banality of evil". Of course, the editors did not mean to suggest a polemic about the emphatic term "pure war". On the contrary, this editorial gesture was meant to attract contributors prepared to demonstrate intellectual, moral and political readiness to think war from the inside. In spite of the many risks, our authors responsibility tackled the uncovering of the internal structures of war, so that this thematic issue is, among other things, an open call to take an attitude of extreme caution towards every militaristic option.
