Great Books: Why War? by Sigmund Freud

This week we are reading Why War? by Sigmund Freud

In 1932 Albert Einstein was charged by the League of Nations to engage in a dialog, in a series of public letters, on a pressing problem or question. He chose psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud. The question he posed was: 

"Is there any way of delivering humankind from the menace of war?" He was asking the question that many of us are asking today: "How can we promote peace?"

This week we will be reading and discussing Sigmund Freud's response, which I have embedded below. For more information on Sigmund Freud click here.
