On Human Conflict [EPUB ebook] 
The Philosophical Foundations of War and Peace

On Human Conflict excavates the cavernous philosophical foundations of war and peace. The magnum opus is bracketed by the authors experience of the Cuban missile crisis as a schoolboy, and his witnessing of 9/11 as an adult. It studies the human species with an admixture of evolutionary insight, free-ranging horror, and heavily-guarded optimism. It is also the uncensored voice of a conservative philosopher who dares to speak his mind on contemporary conflictsincluding the culture and gender wars, and Islamic jihadin an age when political correctness has lowered an Ivy Curtain prohibiting freedom of expression on campus, and across Western civilization entire.
