Description
Book SynopsisThe origin and continued importance of dialectical war theory in the works of Clausewitz and Hegel.
Trade Review" Cormier ably defends an interesting and provocative thesis challenging the received wisdom that Kant and especially Hegel had little or no important impact on Clausewitz. Not only does the text include detailed scholarship on Clausewitz, but Cormier also extends his thesis to the domains of communist and anarchist appropriations of Clausewitz and Hegel. It concludes with an informative and lively epilogue exploring contemporary implications for war theory. The text is interesting, engaging, and full of insights not only regarding these key trajectories, but many other matters as well - an original, thoughtful, and well-conceived book." Bruce Gilbert, Bishop' s University " Cormier has written an intriguing dissection of dialectical war theory that students of philosophy and ethics will find indispensable." Antulio Echevarria, US Army War College
