Description
War and Human Nature by Stephen Peter Rosen explores how our inherited biology shapes our decision-making processes. New findings in the biological sciences suggest that human choices may differ from those predicted by standard models of rational behavior, particularly in the context of war and peace. Rosen argues that human emotional arousal influences how we learn from history, with stress and distress affecting our views of the future, and testosterone levels playing a role in social conflict. This thought-provoking work sheds new light on persistent puzzles in the study of war, offering insights into the mind shaped by recent advances in biology. By examining the intersection of human nature and strategy, Rosen provides a fresh perspective on some of the most enduring questions in the field of international relations.
