The Philosophy of War 1939 is a book written by Harriette Augusta Curtiss that delves into the philosophical and ethical implications of war. The book was written during a time of great global conflict, as World War II was raging on, and the author seeks to explore the reasons behind why wars occur, the impact they have on individuals and societies, and how they can be avoided in the future.The book is divided into several sections that cover different aspects of war, including its causes, its effects on human beings, the role of governments and leaders in initiating wars, and the moral and ethical considerations of warfare. The author draws on a range of philosophical and historical sources to support her arguments, referencing thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Immanuel Kant, as well as historical events such as the Peloponnesian War and the American Civil War.One of the key themes of the book is the idea that war is ultimately a failure of diplomacy and communication, and that conflicts can often be resolved through peaceful means if leaders are willing to engage in dialogue and compromise. The author also emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility in preventing war, arguing that each person has a duty to promote peace and understanding in their own lives and communities.Overall, The Philosophy of War 1939 is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most pressing issues of the modern era. It offers a nuanced and compassionate perspective on the complexities of war and its impact on human beings, and provides valuable insights into how we can work towards a more peaceful and harmonious world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
