Description
War terrifies us - and yet it continues to fascinate us. It is an age-old theme of myths, history, and personal stories. It brings destruction and much suffering, but for its actors and victims, it often provides an intense, almost intoxicating sense of existence. It is one of the most terrifying phenomena in the history of humanity, yet it is inextricably linked to it - and it may very well reveal significant aspects of human being and reality itself. In the book War and Its Terrible Love, American psychologist James Hillman embarks on an uncompromising exploration of this contradictory phenomenon. He draws from soldiers' letters, battlefield records, military analyses, ancient myths, and the thoughts of great authors - from Mark Twain and Leo Tolstoy to Immanuel Kant, Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault, and Emmanuel Levinas. The result is a bold and unsettling book that opens new perspectives, shatters illusions, and seeks to answer the question of why war is so deeply rooted in human experience.
