On War

CHAPTER III
1/6

.

ART OR SCIENCE OF WAR.
1 .-- USAGE STILL UNSETTLED (POWER AND KNOWLEDGE.

SCIENCE WHEN MERE KNOWING; ART, WHEN DOING, IS THE OBJECT.) THE choice between these terms seems to be still unsettled, and no one seems to know rightly on what grounds it should be decided, and yet the thing is simple.

We have already said elsewhere that "knowing" is something different from "doing." The two are so different that they should not easily be mistaken the one for the other.

The "doing" cannot properly stand in any book, and therefore also Art should never be the title of a book.
