Конфликт, агрессия и насилие: концептуальная взаимосвязь
This article deals with the question of the relationship of the terms “aggression” and “violence”. It is argued, that armed conflicts have different shapes of resolution. Using the achievements of ethology and sociobiology, the author shows that aggressive behavior is typical for individuals who form complex social systems, such as a society. Aggression is a precondition of violent conflict, and is manifested in its highest form the war. War, affecting society as a whole (and in the case of the World Wars – whole mankind) raises the question of legal liability for the use of violence in politics.
