Desiderius Erasmus who is
known as a prominent philosopher of renaissance period has been
mentioned as a humanist or pacifist in many sources. Nevertheless, it
seemed that he articulated some different thoughts beyond the ideas
attributed to him. About the point in question, this work aims to
discuss how to position Erasmus in ideological terms through analyzing
his ideas he revealed in his works about war and peace. Within this
context, it will be examined to what extent the ascription of humanist
and pacifist frequently to him is coherent. Consequently, it will be
tried to suggest a proposal about how we should describe him depending
on the findings.
