The High Purpose Of War (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436701273)

""The High Purpose of War"" is a book written by Annie Besant, a prominent British socialist, feminist, and theosophist. In this book, Besant argues that war can serve a higher purpose beyond the destruction and violence it entails. She posits that war can be a means of purging societies of their weaknesses and promoting progress and growth. Besant also explores the spiritual aspects of war, arguing that it can be a catalyst for personal and collective transformation. The book was first published in 1915, during World War I, and reflects the attitudes and beliefs of the time. Despite its controversial subject matter, ""The High Purpose of War"" remains a significant work in the history of political and spiritual thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
