On Human Conflict

Deftly weaving historical and philosophical strands into a dense tapestry exploring the socio-biological, technological and metaphysical foundations of war and peace . . . On Human Conflict will warmly reward those who embark on the journey! -- Seán Cleary, Executive Vice Chairperson of FutureWorld Foundation
In this encyclopedic, inter-disciplinary and engaging tour de force, Lou Marinoff . . . leaves open the possibility of searching for and reaching peace. -- Arie M. Kacowicz, Professor and Chaim Weizmann Chair in International Relations, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
This is an amazing book—gargantuan, both in size and in scope, and in the breadth of its scholarship (where did he, in just one life, manage to read all those books?!), and with no quarter given . . . If you’re interested in peace and the prospects for it—and who isn’t?— you have to read this! -- Jan Narveson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Waterloo
Lou Marinoff has written a book as singular as his journey as one of the world’s leading philosophers . . . an indispensable book—original, crisp, and thought-provoking throughout. -- Frank-Jürgen Richter, Chairman and Founder of Horasis
Rigorous in its analyses and exhaustive in its scholarship, the work takes challenging and controversial positions all the while exhibiting a deep seated humanity and relentless sanity . . . a must read for all those concerned with the possibility of peaceful human flourishing. -- Darren Staloff, The City College of the City University of New York
In his quest to understand war and peace, Marinoff travels a vast expanse of philosophy, biology, history and mathematics, and ends up with a masterpiece that is profound and realistic, ambitious and humble at the same time. -- Sundeep Waslekar, President of Strategic Foresight Group
