This military epistemology examines how we know what we know about war, and the relationship between theory (i.e., methods of understanding) and practice (i.e., methods of prosecuting) with respect to war. It considers the nature of war, the risk of war, the nature of theory, what theory contributes to our understanding of war, and whether different ways of describing war and warfare form coherent and useful theories; applies concepts from other fields to war; and posits fundamental elements of warfighting.
