The Art of War in Sun Tzu’s Era: Military philosophy and its application
The great Ancient Chinese thinkers were truly ahead of their time. Observing the world through a truly complex lens, they managed to leave such a lofty legacy that their works are admired even today, millennia later. Sun Tzu is arguably the most renowned Chinese thinker, with his most famous work being the Art of War. Written in the late 6th century BC, it continues to inspire and teach readers to this very day. But there are still some questions that are left unanswered. For one, why was military philosophy so important to the Ancient Chinese? And how did they apply the Art of War into their pre-existing strategies?

Sun Tzu was one of the most renowned philosophers of his era. He lived during the Spring and Autumn period of Ancient China, which lasted roughly from 770 to 481 BC. This was an era marked by tumult and political fragmentation in the region, which, of course, was accompanied by near-constant warfare. During this time, the ruling Zhou Dynasty slowly dissipated, and began losing its central authority as regional lords quickly rose in power and independence. Immediately after came the period known as the Warring States, lasting from 475 to 221 BC. During this era numerous competing Chinese states, which were born from the rise of regional lords, now competed for domination and the ultimate rule over China. All of this made the era in which Sun Tzu wrote and lived instrumental for the shaping of his military philosophy.
