«Warum Krieg?» is the epistolary essay by Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, published by Diogenes Verlag AG in paperback (64 pages, in German).
Einstein writes to Freud to ask whether there is any means of freeing humanity from the threat of war. Freud responds by analysing the roots of human aggressiveness and the tension between destructive impulses and the demands of culture. A brief debate between science and psychoanalysis on peace.
The volume belongs to Diogenes' detebe series (number 28) and includes an essay by Isaac Asimov.
For readers interested in political philosophy, psychoanalysis and the pacifist thought of two key figures of the twentieth century.
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".
