Publisher's Synopsis
On Human Conflict excavates the cavernous philosophical foundations of war and peace. The magnum opus is bracketed by the author's 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 conflicts-including the "culture" and "gender" wars, and Islamic jihad-in an age when political correctness has lowered an "Ivy Curtain" prohibiting freedom of expression on campus, and across Western civilization entire.
