Why War?
Albert Einstein was 47 and Sigmund Freud 70 when they met for the first and last time. Einstein's son, a psychology student and admirer of Freud, was the one who arranged the meeting. It is not known for certain what they talked about that unique day, in 1927, in the city of Berlin.
In 1931, the Institute for Intellectual Cooperation invited Einstein, by then a renowned physicist, to begin an exchange of ideas about human nature, politics, war and peace with someone whose intellectual stature and whose work deserved his admiration. And the creator of the theory of relativity, although suspicious of psychoanalysis, chose Sigmund Freud.
The result is in this book, which provides a privileged place to closely observe the dialogue, thoughts and arguments of two brains that marked History and whose ideas are still influential in our time. This written dialogue about 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 rid Humanity of the threat of war?"
