Abstract
THE psychology of conflict in human affairs, rising to an extreme of violence and cruelty in war between nations, is a subject of study second to no other at the present time. Although the great majority of educated and thinking people imagine that they can solve this problem in general terms by the light of common-sense and on the basis of ordinary experience, the mutually conflicting theories which they put forward indicate that no adequate solution can be reached in this way.
