Why War?
In 1931, the Institute for Intellectual Cooperation invited Einstein, by then a renowned physicist, to begin an exchange of ideas on human nature, politics, war and peace with someone whose intellectual stature and work merited the admiration of Einstein himself. The creator of the theory of relativity, although reluctant about psychoanalysis, chose Freud.
The result is this book, which provides a privileged place to closely observe the dialogue, thoughts and arguments of two minds that shaped History and whose ideas are still influential in our time. This written dialogue, on the violent instincts of man, social ills or the powers of the State, would begin with an inquiry from Einstein: “Is there any way to free humanity from the threat of war?”
