Abstract: A range of philosophical analyses of the problem of war and proposed solutions. Included: are Aristotle and Bertrand Russell champions of world government, Kant who argued that the state of peace should be founded, Erasmus who put his faith in spiritual values, Konrad Lozenz and his belief that man's aggressive tendencies need to be held in check and a satirical piece by T.H. White with Merlin discussing before Arthur the concept that man requires a large dose of adrenaline from time to time to alleviate glandular problems. Kainz's book gives us a look at the instructive and amusing ideas that have been generated though the ages over the continuing problem of war and our inability to elicit suppor for any of them.
