He chose to corresponded with Sigmund Freud on avoiding war. Einstein maintained the importance of establishing an independent judiciary body to mediate conflicts. Freud agreed with this idea but also felt that “there is no likelihood of our being able to suppress humanity’s aggressive tendencies.” To this day, the correspondence on war by two of the greatest thinkers of all time proves prescient and remains indispensable. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe correspondence between Einstein and Freud was originally published by The International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations in 1933. Included in this edition is Freud’s essay “Thoughts for the Times on War and Death,” two pieces by Einstein on disarmament and the crisis facing affluent societies, and a biographical account of their original encounter and further exchanges. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e81 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWarbler Classics, 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 x .203 x 8 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 9781962572170\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536323756200,"sku":"9781962572170","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/Why-War-cover-half.jpg?v=1712423076","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/why-war-a-correspondence-between-albert-einstein-and-sigmund-freud","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
