This text explores the concept of 'world peace' through the lens of Jiří Vančura's work on a world without wars, specifically focusing on Albert Einstein's perspective. The author offers a critical reflection on the historical events of the late 20th century, a period characterized by persistent calls for peace from both sides of the Iron Curtain, while both blocs simultaneously prepared for imminent warfare. This stark contrast between public rhetoric and military reality suggests that peace may function more as a recurring 'dream,' 'myth,' or 'fable' than a tangible political achievement. Drawing on literary references, such as those by William Faulkner, the analysis highlights the tension between utopian ideals and the pragmatic preparations for conflict. The text examines how the notion of peace served as both a political instrument and an unattainable vision during the Cold War. Ultimately, it portrays peace not as a reachable state of affairs, but as a cultural artifact that masks the underlying human tendency toward mobilization and destruction. This philosophical inquiry invites readers to reconsider the true nature of global stability in an era dominated by ideological divides.
