How to prevent wars?

Abstract

Today, in the context of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, the truth is becoming more and more obvious: "it is better to prevent war than to fight it". Academic science cannot stay aloof from the problem of ensuring the security of humanity, and the scientific community must fulfill a peacekeeping mission —  to use its potential to find ways to solve the global task of preventing wars. Based on his own research, the author draws the following conclusions: identifying the causes of military aggression using the methodology of social naturalism allows predicting the likelihood of war; the ability to identify the causes of wars opens up opportunities for preventing them; the main factor in preventing military aggression is the cultivation of social culture of citizens, counteracting their sociopathization, which forms people's "will to war" and ultimately causes military aggression.
