For hundreds of years people have attempted to understand and explain the complex phenomena of war and peace in the life of individuals and communities. The first reflections concerning anatomy, aetiology and social functions of wars and peace were bom in the oldest Oriental cultures and civilisations. In Europe clear themes of such considerations can be found in treaties by Homer (7th century BC), Hesiod (the turn of 8th and 7th centuries BC). Interesting remarks relating to war and peace subject can be also traced in lively materialistic concept of Heraklit from Efez (about 540-480 BC) and Hipias from Elida. The ideas of Plato (about 427-347 BC) have made a new phase in socialising wars and peace. He discusses the essence and sources of wars, their character, results and kinds. There should be stressed a thesis that war should be only a means to strengthen peace and peace should not be treated as a means to prepare to a next war. For many philosophers, Plato including, human being was the highest value.
