A Chinese military treatise that was written by Sun Tzu in the 6th century BC, during the Spring and Autumn period.

The Art of War is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy. It has had an influence on Eastern military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu suggested the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of competitive actors in that environment. He thought that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through an established list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions. Planning works in a controlled environment, but in a changing environment, competing plans collide, creating unexpected situations. (Wikipedia)

Sun Tzu dit: La guerre est d'une importance vitale pour l'État. C'est le domaine de la vie et de la mort: la conservation ou la perte de l'empire en dépendent; il est impérieux de bien le régler. Ne pas faire de sérieuses réflexions sur ce qui le concerne, c'est faire preuve d'une coupable indifférence pour la conservation ou pour la perte de ce qu'on a de plus cher, et c'est ce qu'on ne doit pas trouver parmi nous.

Sun Tzu fue un militar, estratega y filósofo de la antigua China a quien sus victorias en el campo de batalla inspiraron a escribir El arte de la guerra.Se calcula que vivió alrededor del siglo V a.C.

SUN Zi (siglo V a.C.), conocido también como Sun Tzu o Sun Wu, fue un notable general y teórico de la guerra, nativo del Estado de Qi. El arte de la guerra de Sunzi es, junto con el Laozi (Lao Tsé, Lao Tzu o Lao Tsi), el texto filosófico chino más conocido en Occidente. Desde que el jesuita francés Jean-Jacques Amiot lo tradujera por primera vez en 1772, el escrito, atribuido tradicionalmente a Sunzi, legendario estratega del período de los Reinos Combatientes (476-221 a.e.), ha alcanzado una insólita popularidad si tenemos en cuenta que se trata de un texto redactado hace más de 2300 años por una cultura y una lengua totalmente ajenas a las nuestras. Concebido con una lucidez y una racionalidad implacables, el contenido de esta breve obra desborda por completo los estrechos márgenes definidos por la estrategia militar, al desentrañar con meticulosa precisión los mecanismos fundamentales de la dominación absoluta. Mucho más que un mero tratado de táctica militar, este texto proporciona un fértil e inagotable horizonte de interpretaciones y aplicaciones posibles en ámbitos tan dispares como la teoría política, la filosofía, la economía o la psicología. Por todo ello, El arte de la guerra de Sunzi merece ser considerado un clásico del pensamiento universal. La versión que aquí presentamos posee la virtud de ser la primera traducción realizada directamente del chino antiguo. Además de cotejar las diferentes ediciones del texto y los manuscritos recientemente descubiertos por la arqueología, se ha pretendido ofrecer una lectura alejada del habitual orientalismo fácil y recurrente, integrando la obra de Sunzi en su contexto original y confrontándola permanentemente con el resto de la literatura militar, política y filosófica de la época.

Edición completa y revisada sin ningún prólogo ni extra molesto. El arte de la guerra tal cual, bien maquetado, con índice, en la mejor traducción y con el texto completamente "puro".El arte de la guerra (en chino simplificado, 孙子兵法; en chino tradicional, 孫子兵法; pinyin, Sūn Zǐ Bīngfǎ; literalmente, El arte de la guerra de Sun Tzu) es un libro sobre tácticas y estrategias militares, escrito por Sun Tzu (Maestro Sun, también llamado Sūnzǐ), un famoso estratega militar chino. Se trata de un antiguo tratado militar chino que data del final del periodo de las primaveras y otoños (aproximadamente del siglo v a. C.). La obra consta de 13 capítulos, cada uno dedicado a un aspecto de la guerra y cómo se aplica a la estrategia y tácticas militares. Durante casi 1500 años fue el texto principal de una antología que se formalizaría como los siete clásicos militares del emperador Song Shenzong en 1080. El arte de la guerra sigue siendo el texto de estrategia más influyente en la guerra de Asia Oriental y ha influido en el pensamiento militar oriental y occidental, así como en las tácticas de negocios y en la estrategia legal, entre otros campos.Este libro contiene una explicación detallada y un análisis del ejército chino, desde las armas y la estrategia hasta el rango y la disciplina. Sun Tzu también subrayó la importancia de los agentes de inteligencia y el espionaje para el esfuerzo bélico. Debido a que Sun Tzu ha sido considerado durante mucho tiempo como uno de los mejores tácticos y analistas militares de la historia, sus enseñanzas y estrategias formaron la base del entrenamiento militar avanzado durante los siguientes siglos.El libro fue traducido al francés y publicado en 1772 (reeditado en 1782) por el jesuita francés Joseph-Marie Amiot con el título de Art Militaire des Chinois. En 1905, el oficial británico Everard Ferguson Calthrop intentó realizar una traducción parcial al inglés bajo el título The Book of War. La primera traducción anotada al inglés fue completada y publicada por Lionel Giles en 1910.1 Líderes militares y políticos como el revolucionario comunista chino Mao Zedong, el daimyo japonés Takeda Shingen, Nicolás Maquiavelo, Napoleón y el general militar estadounidense Norman Schwarzkopf se han inspirado en el libro.No es, por tanto, un libro sobre la guerra; es una obra para comprender las raíces de un conflicto y buscar una solución. La mejor victoria es vencer sin combatir, nos dice Sun Tzu, y ésa es la distinción entre el hombre prudente y el ignorante.

L'art de la guerre est le premier traité de stratégie au monde. Rédigé vers le Ve siècle avant J.-C., il développe des thèses originales, qui s'inspirent de la philosophie chinoise ancienne. Considérant la guerre comme une réalité inévitable, il montre comment la réflexion peut mener à la victoire, comment l'analyse des faiblesses de l'ennemi peut fonder une tactique, si l'on sait les exploiter, et même les aggraver; il met l'accent sur la dimension psy-cho-logique du combat, sur le rôle de la ruse et de la fuite. Ses idées, ignorées dans les époques de guerre totale et de conflits frontaux, ont retrouvé une actualité en inspirant les grandes guérillas anti-coloniales chinoises et vietnamiennes, notamment, et sont aujourd'hui reprises par les stratèges asiatiques et américains de la guerre économique.

Joseph-Marie Amiot (1718,1793), est un prêtre jésuite, astronome et historien français, missionnaire en Chine. Il fut le dernier survivant de la Mission jésuite en Chine. Il a contribué à faire connaître la culture chinoise en Europe. Il a traduit les principaux ouvrages chinois consacrés à l'art militaire. Yong Tcheng ou Yongzheng (1678 1735) est le troisième empereur de Chine de la dynastie Qing. Grâce à des réformes qui centralisent le gouvernement et rationalisent la fiscalité, il rend l'administration efficace. Il crée le département des affaires militaires afin de centraliser et renforcer son pouvoir sur l'armée. C'est à cette occasion qu'il fait mettre par écrit ses dix préceptes destinés aux gens de guerre. Sun Tse ou Sun Tzu est un général chinois du VIe siècle avant notre ère (544-496 av. JC). Les treize articles de Sun Tzu sont le manuel le plus réputé de la stratégie asiatique. Cette oeuvre échappa à la grande destruction des livres ordonnée par l'empereur Chehouangti des T'sin en 293 ap. JC et resta longtemps la grande référence des généraux chinois. Elle fut en particulier la doctrine de l'ensemble des généraux des royaumes combattants à l'époque des guerres des Trois Royaumes. Se Ma Yang King a vécu au IVe siècle avant notre ère et nous a laissé ses principes sur l'art militaire, le Se Ma Fa Ou Tse a vécu au IVe siècle avant notre ère. Il dirigea victorieusement les armées du royaume d'Oe et ses exploits militaires ont laissé de nombreuses traces dans les chroniques chinoise. S'appuyant sur les travaux de Sun Tse, Ou Tse rédigea son traité d'art militaire. Seuls six articles nous sont parvenus. Ces articles étaient très réputés auprès des lettrés chinois et mandchous et ils furent l'objet de nombreux commentaires. Ces cinq oeuvres peuvent être considérées comme la base de toute stratégie moderne. Didier HALLÉPÉE, érudit passionné de stratégie et officier en retraite a sélectionné ces textes pour vous.

The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that is attributed to Sun Tzu, a military strategist of the State of Wu who was active in the late-sixth century BC, during the late Spring and Autumn period. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it is said to be the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time, and is still read for its military insights. The Art of War is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world. It has been the most famous and influential of China's Seven Military Classics: "for the last two thousand years it remained the most important military treatise in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name." It has had an influence on Eastern military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu emphasized the importance of positioning in military strategy, and that the decision to position an army must be based on both objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective beliefs of other, competitive actors in that environment. He thought that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through an established list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions. Planning works in a controlled environment, but in a changing environment, competing plans collide, creating unexpected situations.
