Serhii Makeyev - Doctor of Sociological Sciences, Professor, Head of department of Social Structures at the Institute of Sociology NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv.


Abstract. Certainly, the patterns of intellectuals’ attitudes towards war are heavily outnumbered by the intellectuals themselves. Although the very metamorphosis of human communities’ lives is not able to produce ideal types of feelings, relationships or destinies, it can at least visualise a certain set of these phenomena, which, however, are impossible to enumerate. What contributes to this state of affairs are Events because they severely disrupt and alter the normal functioning of states and everyday communication between their citizens. War is exactly this kind of Events. The author presents three patterns of the attitude towards war (mainly WWI) displayed by intellectuals. First, this is public patriotism in the rear embodied by E.Durkheim and M.Weber. Second, this is patriotism in the front line and public pacifism in the rear represented by E.Durkheim and M.Weber. And finally, this is loyalty to the mission of an intellectual both at the front and in the rear, which is characteristic of A.Schopenhauer and L.Wittgenstein.

Keywords: E.Durkheim, M.Weber, E.Durkheim, M.Weber, A.Schopenhauer, L.Wittgenstein, patriotism, pacifism, mission of an intellectual.
