Adler wrote How to Think About War and Peace in the summer of 1943, two years before an atom bomb exploded over Hiroshima and brought the Second World War to an end. Because of its relevance to our own time, Fordham University Press has reprinted Adler's important book, bringing it up to date with an introduction by John Logue. In the book, Adler writes that "anarchy" is an appropriate name for the existing system of nation states and that war will be the inevitable result. Adler urges that this system be replaced with a democratic world federation with limited but adequate powers. The government of such an organization should be concerned not only with law and order but also with justice and human rights. 330 8 $aHow to Think About War and Peace discusses immediate issues with eternal principles, viewing present problems in the larger perspective that history and philosophy can provide. This book engages in a timeless project not contingent on current events, but cumulated from a continuing history of the battle between war and peace. Written in the midst of the Second World War, Adler's purpose was not to proffer how to make peace after the end of the war, but rather, to instruct as to how to think about war and peace and how to continue this process to maintain peace. 606 $aPeace 606 $aPeace 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 606 $aInternational Relations$2HILCC 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aPeace. 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 615 7$aInternational Relations 676 $a327.1/72 700 $aAdler$b Mortimer Jerome$f1902-2001.$0123307 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910170986103321 996 $aHow to think about war and peace$91908111 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
