Fighting itself is neither moral nor immoral; only its \u003cem\u003eobject\u003c\/em\u003e can be said to be so. We may count the ability to fight well, when applied to a just cause, among the virtues. To be moral is \u003cem\u003enot \u003c\/em\u003eto fight no one; to be moral is to fight those who vitiate life and civilization. In \u003cem\u003eConsilience\u003c\/em\u003e, Edward Wilson writes that, if \"moral aptitude\" is like every other trait studied to date, it forms a bell curve, has a natural genetic distribution: some human beings are moral, others amoral or immoral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur chief concern should be for, first life, then civilization; fighting may foster life and civilization, and not fighting harm them. That the moral are far less willing to fight than the immoral has always hurt societies. \"Many moral advances have consisted not of eschewing force across the board,\" writes Steven Pinker in \u003cem\u003eThe Better Angels of Our Nature\u003c\/em\u003e, \"but of applying it in carefully measured doses.\" If we truly wish to make the world a better place, we should sometimes fight. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The art of war is an art with principles,\" said Napoleon, \"and these principles must never be violated.\" The best study of these principles is the lives of those who applied them best. \u003cem\u003eLife Fighting\u003c\/em\u003e explicates the principles by which Julius Caesar, Richelieu, Talleyrand, Napoleon, and Bill Gates fought, by which they attained their objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe website of \u003cem\u003eLife Fighting\u003c\/em\u003e is: www.lifefighting.net\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 374\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51786257006880,"sku":"9780578840376","price":17.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ed54f1844de935661a3751ef3f6b3a2e.webp?v=1780630645","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/life-fighting-why-we-must-sometimes-fight-and-how-to-do-so-well-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
