"Of course, I only use terms war, or god, or civility, in context of what can be observed. So, I can observe soldiers fighting, but does that bring me any closer to understand war?"

Protagoras (c. 490 – c. 420 BCE) was a Greek philosopher and sophist who was credited by Plato with inventing the role of the professional sophist.
