Popis produktu

For those interested in a more philosphical aspect of war, 'The Meaning of the War' by Henri Bergson is a short non-fiction work that explores 'Life & Matter in Conflict', as the subtitle of the book tells us. A renowned French philosopher, Bergson delves into the history and politics of war, specifically examining Germany during World War I. This book criticizes the ideology that might is right. A policy that has been fatal for regions that neighbour Germany.To further get insight into the philosophical aspect of war, Sigmund Freud's essay ´Reflections on War and Death´ provides a great perspective on the modern mental state of people during WWI.
