Description
What are the fundamental causes of war and why is it so firmly rooted in human experience? This book traces the answers to these questions to biblical accounts of the genesis of the sexes and to Plato's conception of the united self, and then explores the failure of modern political theory to come to terms with the warlike nature of humans. The book combines political theory, gender analysis and human psychology, and examines the thought of Machiavelli, Hobbes, Hegel, Nietzsche, La Boetie, Rousseau, Kant and Marx.
