On Aggression (Paperback, 2 New Edition): Konrad. Lorenz On Aggression (Paperback, 2 New Edition)
Konrad. Lorenz
R1,226 Discovery Miles 12 260 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

First published in the 1960s, "On Aggression" has been the target of criticism and controversy ever since. It is not Lorenz's careful descriptions of animal behaviour that are contentious, but his extrapolations to the human world that have caused reverberations resulting in a statement adopted by UNESCO in 1989 and subsequently endorsed by the American Psychological Association that appers to condemn his work. But does "On Aggression" actually make the claims implicit in the Seville statement? In an introduction by Professor Eric Salzen, the debate about Lorenz's work is set in its social and political context and his claims and those of his critics reassessed.

On Aggression (Paperback, Revised): Konrad. Lorenz On Aggression (Paperback, Revised)
Konrad. Lorenz; Foreword by Sir Julian Huxley
R604 Discovery Miles 6 040 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Konrad Lorenz was the author of some of the most popular books ever published about animals, including the best-selling Man Meets Dog and King Solomon's Ring. On Aggression is one of his finest works, as well as the most controversial. Through an insightful and characteristically entertaining survey of animal behaviour, the Nobel Prize winner tracks the evolution of aggression throughout the animal world. He also raises some startling questions when he applies his observations of animal psychology to humankind. His conclusions caused an unprecedented controversy, culminating in a statement adopted by UNESCO in 1989 which appeared to condemn his work. Whether or not Lorenz actually claimed aggression is hard-wired into the human psyche, and that war is an inevitable result, is something readers can decide upon for themselves. However you react, there can be no doubting that in today's violent world this powerful work remains of paramount importance.
