BUSHIDO, BUDO AND BU: A PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH

Abstract

If we intend to interpret the meaning of "Bu" with current thinking and ideas, this letter would represent the concept of violence, of the magnitude of a massacre. This is somewhat similar to the fiction involving technology that Winston-Churchill narrates in his work on the World Crisis, where a single phone call could cause thousands of female and child soldiers to die, thus pushing humanity to the ground. edge of extinction. The Constitution of Japan, which proclaims the permanent threat of “Intimidation or the use of force”, clearly illustrates this reasoning. Our modern warfare actually involves little more than defeating enemy technology, but the concept behind the letter "Bu" is not so mechanical or superficial.
