Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the question of whether war is unavoidable for progress in society. The author, a pacifist, argues that war is a scourge on humanity and its costs far outweigh any benefits. War leads to immense physical suffering and mental anguish, as well as economic ruin. It stifles progress in the arts and sciences, and diverts resources that could be used to improve the lives of ordinary people. The author argues that a state of unbroken peace is both possible and desirable, and that we should strive to create a society in which conflict is resolved through nonviolent means. This book challenges the idea that war is necessary for human progress and offers a hopeful vision of a more peaceful future.
