Philosophers of Peace and War: Kant, Clausewitz, Marx, Engles and Tolstoy (The Wiles Lectures). Ships quickly and with care.Summary:This vintage revised 1989 paperback, Philosophers of Peace and War by W. B. Gallie, examines the groundbreaking contributions of Kant, Clausewitz, Marx, Engels, and Tolstoy to international theory. Through analysis and critique, Gallie explores their unique perspectives on the causes of war, the nature of peace, and the enduring relevance of their ideas to contemporary debates on international relations.
SYNOPSIS:Intellectual eminence apart, what did Kant, Clausewitz, Marx and Engels, and Tolstoy have in common? Professor Gallic argues that they made contributions to 'international theory' – to the understanding of the character and causes of war and of the possibility of peace between nations – which were of unrivalled originality in their own times and remain of undiminished importance in ours. But these contributions have been either ignored or much misunderstood ; chiefly because, as with all intellectual efforts in unexplored fields, they were often imperfectly expressed, and were also overshadowed by their author's more striking achievements. Professor Gallic has sorted out, compared and contrasted, criticised and re-phrased the teachings of his chosen authors on peace and war.
