Gustav Landauer – Letters on Peace and War
Abstract
Hanna Delf von Wolzogen examines Gustav Landauer’s (1870–1919) reflections on peace and war through his letters, writings, and political engagements during the First World War (1914-18) and short-lived Bavarian Republic (1919). Examined in context, the letters illustrate both a sharp critique of nationalist intellectuals and an insistence that philosophy and cultural life are a vital force of resistance against the ideology and deadly practice of war.
