Excerpt from War, Science and Civilization
Civilization and not war is the main theme of this essay. The European cataclysm was, it is true, the stimulus to the expression of the present views, but it has only an incidental place in the discussion. Two things have specially influenced me to consider certain aspects of the subject now uppermost in the world's attention.
First, the leading nations on both sides in this struggle assert with the greatest positiveness and undoubtedly with a large measure of sincerity that they are fighting for civilization as well as for their own interests. Second, science and scientific ideas are playing important parts in the tragedy now being acted on the world stage. The physicist, the chemist, and the engineer are not only "behind the gun," they are also behind the departments of state and war. Furthermore, eminent publicists make much of the "biological argument" both in defense of war and in denunciation of it.
