Why Men Fight explores the underlying motivations for human conflict and proposes ideas for political reconstruction aimed at promoting peace. Russell delves into the psychological and social sources of war, framing his arguments around the need for a shift in human impulses and desires. The opening of the book presents a reflection on the transformative impact of war on beliefs and political philosophies. Bertrand Russell discusses how the war has altered perceptions of human nature and action, emphasizing the tension between instinctive impulses and rational thought. He critiques common justifications for war, arguing that war arises from deep-rooted human impulses rather than purely nationalistic or governmental ambitions. By understanding these impulses, Russell suggests that political institutions can evolve to create a society less inclined toward conflict and better equipped to cultivate a culture of peace.
