«Porquê a Guerra?» is the Einstein-Freud correspondence, published by Publicações Europa-América in paperback (76 pages, in Portuguese).
Commissioned by the League of Nations, Einstein and Freud exchanged letters in 1932 about war: Einstein asks whether conflicts can be avoided; Freud analyses human aggression and destructive impulses from a psychoanalytic perspective. The dialogue reflects on violence and the conditions for lasting peace.
The correspondence dates from 1932. This Portuguese edition, from 2007, falls under the categories of Philosophy, History, and Literature and Fiction.
Aimed at readers of philosophy, history of thought and psychoanalysis, and at those who want to learn about the exchange between Einstein and Freud.
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist best known for developing the known theory of relativity. Einstein also made important contributions to quantum theory. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from special relativity, has been called "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for "his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".
