The Epistemological Roots of the Strategy Science: Thinking Philosophy on National Survival

The core idea of this book tackles the epistemological roots and philosophical logic inherent in the legacy of the early pioneers of strategic science. Fundamentally, this can be achieved by formulating it within four major theories that formed the foundation of strategic thinking and the source of methodological inspiration for all subsequent theoretical contributions. These theories continue to stimulate strategic thought and engage minds concerned with strategic affairs and national security issues due to the strength of their inferential philosophy. This philosophy converges on the idea of using war as a tool to produce political and strategic phenomena, such as redrawing the political map of nations, altering geographical boundaries, creating new states, causing others to disappear, shaping strategic culture, and forming national and international political systems.
